This is an important statement. Another important consideration is 
whether or not there is any scientific evidence that supports the 
individual's belief. If there is, then there should be compensation 
for their being wronged. However, the converse is as true. If there 
is no evidence, there should be no compensation. We shouldn't pay for 
illness that is not caused by the assumed responsible individual 
(facility).
