Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )

Discussion during this last  Saturday Night Drive centered, in part, on the different ways to present the Wakefield Doctrine. The way of clarks is to simply put all the information out there, leaving it to the Reader/Listener to take it and understand the value contained therein. The scottian approach is to sell the idea and present only enough facts and information to justify the claims made (by the scott) in the course of presenting the idea. The rogers weren’t around for the discussion.
