Facts. I wrote a paper about espionage during the Manhattan Project many years ago. Spent a full week focused on it and reading books then wrote the paper. 10 pages iirc. I had to stand in front of a board and defend it. I forgot who Oppenheimer was and bombed (no pun intended) the review.
Tbf, you can be the author of something and also completely fail to correctly cite your own material.
