It's fine. I am a early carreer scientist and especially when writing a paper you often recognise what is actual hearsay and what is an actual fact. When writing I often recognise that I kinda fall into the pitfall of "woops, this thought of fact is actually hearsay... the more you know", because I didn't find a proper sourceanywhere making it essentially a myth. (Which is btw why I LOVE proper scientific sourcing)

The hearsay argument I followed here especially as a german is the argument of "In communism everyone is equal but there are people that are more equal.", which in the end would make a two class society again, where wealth is one sided. This is what is often said about DDR here, which also tried to follow socialist traits.
