Captions available
The idea
The Stetler Model's position is narrower than either slogan. Unexamined opinion is not evidence; observation that has been reflected on and externalised is.
In practice
A clinician's pattern written down and examined, beside the same clinician's untested assertion.
Where people slip
Both extremes are wrong here — that experience counts for nothing, and that it counts merely because someone had it.
