The issue is some Stuttering professors think stuttering is bad and should be eliminated 100%. But that is often not possible no matter how hard the PWS tries. The person is motivated, but still stutters. For example, one prominent professor compared stutterers in NSA as happy stutterer who did not receive adequate therapy for cancer. "If the person had cancer, he would get treatment" The academic opinion that stuttering is undesirable and unacceptable. Bad analogy comparing cancer to stuttering? Maybe a good analogy....
