Argument is a essential piece of critical thinking and as a profession grounded in science is unambiguously necessary for the advancement of physical therapy. This is because science is advanced by critique and from critique comes refinement and progression. With this in mind, it is distressing to see so many of my colleagues claim that we need to “stop arguing” — Part of the issue might come from semantics surrounding the word “argument”, but I think the bigger issue is something a bit deeper than that.
