Why can't they get their Mendelian genetics right?

A lot of people seem to feel this way, but I just saw it as another time that House threw out a fishing line to see what he caught. He knew something was up, once the husband said he *wanted* her to get the surgery, so he tossed out a line, assuming she'd believe him because he's the doctor.

Not all of us remember the specifics of even high school biology. *g*

yeah but... I'd hope a doctor would. You think House knew it was wrong but just used it to rationalize an intuition? Interesting notion... Makes me wonder about the logic/intuition balance in his thought processes... is he a Spock or a Kirk?

I'm not even saying he was wrong -- I'm saying he lied, quite deliberately. *g* Oh, it's entirely possible that it's "actually" a matter of bad research (or none) on the part of the writers, but within the context of the universe of the show, House has shown himself quite able to lie or make things up or drop comments he doesn't mean into a situation to see what rises to the top. If he had a feeling something was up, once the husband clearly wanted her to have the surgery, with her own emphasis on her attractiveness and sexuality, given that he's supposed to the Sherlock Holmes of medicine, it's not that big a leap to me that he suspects what's going on, and provides "proof" to her that he knows it, assuming she won't know any better.
