Often, "we do this and then we do that" is just a lazy way of stating "to do that, we must have achieved this."
I am certainly no philosopher, but as I observe the apparent erosion of agreement on factual evidence in our society. Somewhere along the line, critical thinking must be given the stature it deserves.
