The linguistic sleight-of-hand here is fascinating. A Greek physician supposedly coins a Latin maxim 400 years before Latin medical terminology even existed. The home birth stat comparison really drives home how "fewer interventions" gets confused with "less risk" when interventions exist precisely to handle emergenceis. Risk-benefit analysis over fake ancient wisdom is way more honest.
I fully agree. On the other hand even the American College of ObGyn (ACOG) says the advantage of home births are less interventions, when in fact the unavailability of interventions likely increases the known adverse outcomes of home births.
