A visitor in a strange land encounters two medicine men. One recommends herbal rememdy X for what ails the human condition saying the recipe came to him in a dream from his ancestors. The other recommends potion Y for what ails the human condition saying the recipe was dictated by a voice from the heavens.
The visitor, who call himself a man of science, observes that the people using herbal rememdy X do indeed claim relief from many ailments whereas people using potion Y become addicted and die early.
Since the manner by which both recepies were derived sound equally preposterous the visitor concludes that both are equally worthless.
