Clinical viability and scarce scientific reliability are discussed. Retracing the bibliographic path, this contribute highlights the need for a review of the commonly known authorship. The research for a scientific validation being necessary, this work calls for a redefinition of this classification, able to identify the one who published the very first intuition.
