I think that accusations above have no grounds and may be offensive. 
What if there was a typographic error in DOCTOR's WRITTEN notes?
(should we accuse Frank for laziness and lack of effort in looking at
the location of letters "V" and "C" on the keyboard? :)

The only Ben Smith's sin in that case would be his belief in doctors'
infallibility, but is this really a vice that deserves pointing out in
such patronising tone?
