a fictitious chain of reasoning and present it in a style learned from the textbook and classroom presentations

Communication is an important skill for scientists, it's not enough to discover some new science, you must also get the point across to your peers and the general public (and of course the examiner in an exam situation). There are accepted forms (although some textbooks are really lousy). I keep telling my students that and am known to take points off for poor writing or unclear reasoning. It's something I learned from my teachers.
