Yeah I mean that it went USA specific and also time specific. If you know enough to ask clarification that's great. But the problem with research is I don't know what I don't know, so when it puts me in a very small part of the problem space it's hard for me to see how little knowledge I've gained.
In this example, I wouldn't personally consider any of these theories for why suburbs exist. They're all important reasons for the expansion of US suburbs during one time period. But that doesn't answer the question of why, for example, there aren't forces that pin everyone either to an urban or rural existence without suburbs. The answer to that question would involve rather different concepts than the answer it gave IMO.
