It would be fine if she was saying "YES... What I thought all along was right: there is a better way for ME." But she's generalizing by using her own experience and the results of the study, and extrapolating those results to a majority of the people in the world when she says "most people." And that's exactly the same thought process she's criticizing when she says doctors make decisions for people irresponsibly based on anecdotal or irrelevant evidence.
