makes you wonder how much of our pre-op and post-op stress, due to corporate beligerance and ignorance, contributes to our slow slow recoveries.

As for demonstrating evidence cited from 2002, it's the tactic by most insurance companies to consider anything experimental until 5 years of data has come through. looks like you have some ammo to throw at them since it's been 5 years according to them.
