some people just seem driven to get the facts straight,
no matter what they might have believed beforehand.
that's my intuitive sense of what makes someone
an accurate reporter or a reponsible scholar.
i think that most AR's and RS's that come
to WP find that the 3 content policies
embody fantastically well what they
have already been born or trained
to do, since the basic ideas of
grounded and sourced research
were hardly invented locally,
but derived from standards
and practices, indeed,
from norms of conduct
that have governed
the life of inquiry
for as long as it
has been alive.
