I never said the writers are only responsible for the dialogue. They make up the show, but the props department and editing department have previously been shown not to always follow the writers. Shepherd's name was spelled as Shepard on a phone, for example.

Dialogue uses head of more often so that is why we went for that option. For example, you can rewatch episode 10x23. There are lines such as: "You don't offer a first-year attending head of cardiothoracic surgery." and "A fellow interviewing potential department heads, showing you a bunch of people you won't like to get you to stay." and "How'd it go? Do we have a new head of cardio?". Not once is the Chief of... used. Same goes for episode 10x21 and 8x24. Also in the consequent episode, department head is used 3 times, whereas department chief is only used once.

We never claimed you were lying. We don't say Chief of... is wrong, not at all. We just had to make a decision and we did that based on the dialogue in recent episode, which all say Head of... is used way more often than Chief of.
