"This will be controversial," Master Corinne predicted when Aria shared the complete draft. "You are challenging some fundamental assumptions about how healing work should be conducted and documented."
"What assumptions?" Aria asked.
"That medical practice should be purely objective," Corinne said. "That personal perspective has no place in professional documentation. That techniques matter more than values. Your book argues the opposite. That subjectivity is inevitable and should be acknowledged. That personal perspective enriches rather than contaminates professional work. That values determine which techniques are pursued and how they are applied."
"Do you think that is wrong?" Aria asked.
"I think it is exactly right," Corinne said. "But many practitioners will resist it because it requires them to examine their own values and acknowledge their subjectivity. That is uncomfortable work."
"Should I soften the argument?" Aria asked.
