So the guy graduated a Dr. That does not presently make him a doctor other than in the legal sense. For all practical purposes in this dispute he is a businessman that sees his revenue stream endangered and moves to protect it using the law. This has absolutely nothing to do with two doctors arguing over 'who is right' or 'what is true'.

It is the head of a private equity backed business. That he also happens to be a dermatologist is not the key - unless you think he would have complained if he were only a dermatologist and not a big-business owner?

From the NY article:

> Eight days later, after an outcry from private equity executives and dermatologists associated with private equity firms

So the complained is from business people. If any of them also happens to be a dermatologist that does not seem to be the key, they don't complain about anything medical. That's because the paper was

> a research paper on its website that analyzed the effects of a business trend roiling the field of dermatology

It was about business, not about medical issues.

I recommend you read the NY Times article.
