In both Brazilian and American professional contexts, unsupported statements are heavily scrutinized in academic, legal, and journalistic fields. In Brazil, there's particular emphasis on evidence-based arguments in legal proceedings and formal reports. In the USA, unsupported statements are viewed skeptically in both professional and public discourse, with a cultural emphasis on 'show me the data.' The phrase is commonly used in academic papers, courtrooms, and media criticism.
