Every English class I've had growing up in America has a bunch of assignments like this:
1. Pick a topic.
2. Pick a position.
3. Find sources that support your position.
4. Write.
If English were held to the same high standard as the sciences, it would go:
1. Pick a topic.
2. Research sources.
3. Pick your position.
4. Write.
It's not surprising that the people who do the best in English have carried this mindset with them to their job.
