Short journal · Original editorial · Useful disagreement
A personal preference is presented as an unavoidable requirement.
Agreement is easier to assess when the actual choice is visible. A disagreement can concern evidence, preference, timing, or limits. Name the point of difference before trying to settle it, and leave people room to revise their view.
