Abstract: It may not be possible to be wholly objective, as Messrs. Stimson and Thompson (among others) assert (see [Stimson, D. H., R. P. Thompson. 1975. The importance of `Weltanschauung' in Operations Research: The case of the school busing problem. Management Sci. 21 (10, June) 1123-1132.]). Nevertheless, one should be as objective as possible in OR, or any other science, and this carries with it the concomitant duty of accurate and adequate descriptions--including descriptions of work by others to the extent that it may be pertinent.
