I worry sometimes about introduction sections that have loose theoretical rationales written to satisfy reviewers when the authors really just want to say “I wondered what would happen” but aren’t allowed to

now you’re opening up the “real science needs Theory behind it” can of worms, and while I don’t entirely disagree, so much of medical (and social science) research is closer to “throw science at the wall and see what sticks, then explain it later” in practice

More research is needed I guess.
