if
they are indeed "simple facts" (and that is
often not the case), putting
"simple facts" together to build a case, in order to refute a quoted
argument or position you see in some article which you don't agree with,
is
"original research."
Can't really agree with that. Banning deductive logic from articles isn't a
good idea. As I have said here before, that seems to me to be an inflation
of the original research policy, meant to bar crank theories, to an
unreasonable extension of it.
