I mean, I don't mind, you can attribute whatever to whatever and yeah, a crib full of plush toys doesn't seem like such a smart idea... but the question is what a doctor should do, how we want them to behave in the face of limited evidence.
SIDS is intended as a diagnosis of last resort but is often used with little digging so it's not really any different than the case this article discusses, except with the opposite result. I never demanded that doctors start doing something different but I think it's pretty obvious we're just collectively leaving some stones unturned here.
