Why tentativeness and objectivity are important in academic text writing?
An academic text is obligated to be as accurate as possible; it should represent our best effort to explain reality as it really is. It is often necessary to present tentative conclusions because we actually do not know everything, and we must not pretend to know more than we actually know. We would run the risk of leaping to false conclusions if we are not suitably tentative about things that are not fully proved or well supported.The value of objectivity should be obvious. It is wrong to present a distorted view of reality based on one's own prejudice or preconceptions. The problem with subjective viewpoints is that everyone has their own subjective viewpoint and they do not agree. Whereas, objective reality is real for everyone.
