It is important to identify what the author's opinion is so that you understand which
information they are giving you, which information they may be leaving out, and why.
It is important to identify these details so that we can examine them critically, and so we know
what points we may have to do further research on.
It is important to analyze the way the author distinguishes their position to
understand what information they may be leaving out and how strong of a bias
they have against other positions.
