X has been a major problem since the beginning of time. Y, Z, and T have been tried, but little progress has been made, and we are stuck with X. Recently, in the context of V, the use of W has shown great success. Could W be the missing ingredient for solving X? Although this is a plausible and intriguing possibility, a number of technical issues (A,B, and C) need to be addressed before applying W to X.
- bonoboTP 7y agoAfter seeing more of how the sausage is made, I realized these stories are just like stories we tell ourselves in our personal lives. They are adjusted and readjusted retroactively after the fact. You often come up with an idea in a way that is not very narrative, may need a lot of very specific background knowledge of your and your team's circumstances and events. Then after the fact, after you came up with the idea and validated it, you place that piece of the puzzle into the big picture and make it fit seamlessly and flowing naturally from the past ideas and current zeitgeist in the field.
- dr_kiszonka 7y agoThanks! I thought OP's recommendation was for more of a personal story, e.g., "When my uncle was diagnosed with X, his doctors tried Y, Z, and T. Surprisingly, while these treatments are considered standard of care, their efficacy is low. Recent research points to V as a risk factor for X so..." I am glad I was wrong :-)
