To play Devils advocate, it feels more like we can't say anything until it decipates just enough although there are times where we can seemingly force through it with extreme tension but ... I think we should still see it as something that needs to be cured even if it's technically not a disease.  I mean why not?  Even if we can come to terms that there isn't a cure now, it doesn't mean we don't want to see it being researched.  That's the only thing in your OP I was a little taken aback by even though I'm sure it was well intentioned.
