Is a specific illness relevant? Noish. Criteria for diagnosis? Yes. Types of treatment? No. Would sending the colleagues mean pretending more people are against the change? More people are qualified to have opinions about the change? No to both. Does not sending the colleagues after all make one side of an argument look weak? Foolish? Eventually, yes. Like liars? Not exactly, but suspect certainly.

Are siamese twins relevant? No, but I'd love to know where this was leading! --> Oh i was aware of some bad experimens made on siamese twins...and also I was guessing that the one of collegues was a trap to attract just some members of David's employees. Sounds like an idea for a better puzzle than this one XD.
Are alternative medicines relevant? No. Talking with patients? No, but in the same arena.
Change in psychology? Yes --> well...I am not an expert in the field. We said that the change involved testing/evaluating. Measuraments relevant? Tests and evaluations on patients? Yes. On viruses? Is it tested the cause of a disease (e.g. which are the subjects that are more likely to be affected?)? The consequences? And yes. The cures? Are tools relevantly used? Is Freud relevant? Are dosages relevant? Drugs? Is a specific disturb tested? The presence of it? No to rest.
How patients that are affected by the disorder react to some stimuli (visual?)? No, with a small vague "ish". learning disabilities, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders? None of these are central to the puzzle, though addiction, depression or anxiety might come into consideration at some point.
...their specific role is largely passive. --> is their presence useful in order to increase the number of participants? Not exactly, but OTRTish. were they used as witnesses? Yes, with the caveat that they did not actually go. To take notes? Yes, same caveat. Just o be present? Yes, same caveat.
Did they just represent David in his absence? In a sense. Is the absence/presence of David's employees crucial for what the collegues were doing? No. Were the employees aware of what they would have been asked to do by the collegues? Yes. Did they know that David disagreed? Yes.
Did someone else promised to send them employees a part from David? No. Is University relevant? University courses? Formal occasions/celebrations? Are laws relevant? Signatures? No to rest.
