HUH? You know that I'm not sitting here dictating? You know that I'm using my fingers to type? (Is it really typing if one uses only two fingers, or does one need to use all ten?)
So who wrote those reports you referred to, if not the persons who dictated them?
If someone had said "Reading a book makes you an author," then your surgeon analogy might make some sense. But since no one has come even remotely close to claiming that, it's a completely idiotic comparison.
