Why is context important?

For me context is the key - from that comes the understanding of everything.
Kenneth Noland

In an era of so-called evidence-based medicine, we must bear in mind that the emergence of any piece of evidence is occurring not in a vacuum, but within a complex set of attitudinal, ideological, societal, economic, and cultural contexts (both implicit and explicit). These contexts no doubt influence whether or not, and to what extent, such findings are considered interesting, important, or valid, and whether they are ultimately translated into medical training and practice.
Astin JA. Arthritis Care Res 2007;57 (7):1116–8. DOI 10.1002/art.23004.

Disinformation is most effective in a very narrow context.
