Clearly you don't.  It is one of several, but also one of the most 
reliable--especially when taken on to the next step as a CRI.  Good ride vets 
will pull horses who have good recoveries but other poor parameters--but I've 
never met a one who would send a horse out with a poor recovery even if 
everything else looked fine.  Clinical experience DOES count for something, 
believe it or not.  And as I recall, I was not the Lone Ranger in trying to 
remind you of that last time, either, so I guess the rest of the seasoned 
docs out there are pretty darn dumb, too.
