Thank you very much for your informative thoughts. I couldn't have said things more eloquently myself.

EBP is a necessary part of our field for various reasons, most of which you have pointed out. And as you said, the research has to start somewhere; typically with a new treatment technique, new philosophy, or so on. There will always be pioneers in our field (and every other for that matter) who push the envelope and develop new thoughts, ideas and treatment approaches. Again as sharileedahl put it "Your unproven theories may become the outcome of the next body of research."

Thanks again.
