	No. Same symptoms WITHOUT a broken skull. Therefore open the skull. After
all, 
that nose lubricant produced by the brain can't get out.

	And no one said good thing. All you need is one quack/crackpot to try it
and 
the patient lives to spread the idea.

	There is no magic here. Pragmatism rules. As soon as some fruitloop tries
it 
and it works the idea spreads. Certainly there were all kinds of mistakes
along 
the way. Certainly it was found that an immediate treatment of hammering a
lion 
fang through the skull with a stone hammer is a bad idea.

	Being generous, you are clearly not aware that the symptoms of such
injuries 
are generally similar whether or not the skull can actually leak. Also if
the 
scalp is intact in the leaking area the symptoms can be relieved by simply

cutting the scalp to relieve the pressure.

	So cutting the skull is simply one step removed from cutting the scalp.

	And if all that is too hard for you to grasp, we are talking dozens of 
generations of experience. With the symptoms, the person will die. You can
try 
cutting off toes with no increase in mortality. Given Sapiens has been
around 
for some 100-160 thousand years simple random experimentation should have 
stumble on this.

	However there is a clear connection between the symptoms and the fracture
v. 
non-fracture from the subdural swelling having a greater chance of
survival. 
Even today, symptoms are everything.

	I am well aware you don't like me because you are a murderous, thieving
Zionist 
but please stop trying to dump on me just because you think you are clever
and 
from a superior Jewish gene pool.
