The quality of good judgment includes knowing whether or not how you move your hands hurts or helps your patient. A surgeon who operates with poor technique can fairly be described as a surgeon with poor judgment. (Disclosure: my basis of knowledge is that my mother was a surgical nurse at a teaching hospital whose surgeons invented many new surgical techniques over the course of her career. My mother was part of the team for some of the very first open-heart surgical procedures performed anywhere in the world. All of the best surgeons in that hospital had good judgment about whether or not to perform surgery, and what technique to use, or to invent, for a particular patient problem, but the teaching surgeons there also had flawless technique.)
