1/ success of medicine astrology is yet to be demonstrated
2/ history of science is about history, not actual science
3/ Ancients were probably as intelligent as we are, they just lacked a 
proper education and were filled with many false information

I can understand why people would study ancient medicines, I don't when 
they decide to consider it actual applicable science. It could be 
harmful in some cases.

But since it's done in Python, I guess we can let it slide :o)
