Why the contentious nature of comparing techniques

Maybe it’s just human nature but it seems whenever the discussion arises of a technique someone isn’t skilled in or doesn’t believe in, there’s a contentious response. Could this be a territorial protective response? Not sure.

What I do know is that it discourages sharing of ideas and techniques. The bottom line is everything works on someone yet not everyone. It’s a matter of matching the right approach to the patient and then being open to bring in other approaches if needed to achieve the end result.
