In Brazil, it appears frequently in university research papers, scientific publications, and formal debates. In the United States, it's common in theoretical physics, mathematics, philosophy, and policy discussions. The term emphasizes the distinction between what should happen according to theory versus what actually occurs in practice, which is a crucial distinction in scientific and intellectual discourse across both cultures.
