The sun rises at dawn and sets at dusk. That's just the way it is on this
planet. Fortunately, we don't cite this fact every time we discuss the
weather. Our work is biased and contextual. In my mind, there's no need to
cite this as it's bleeding obvious. Otherwise, one needs to be delusional
about being theory/framework/system/methodology free. I'm the one who
continually mocks here folk in white lab coats who claim/insinuate to be
theory/bias free.
