Each of the intervention (intervention) that come from the outside, is considered as an obstacle to the development of independent professionals. Many who want a job that gives special privileges to make decisions and work without closely monitored. Sense of independence can be derived from the freedom of doing what is best according to the particular situation in question. Third, confidence in the rule itself / profession (belief self regulation) meant that the ultimate authority for assessing the professional work is a fellow professional, not "outsiders" who do not have competence in the field of science and their work.
