However, any time a person or group pretends that a resource has magically appeared in a way which can't be connected to previous resources and agents, I believe they're at imminent risk of engaging in unsustainable processes.    \r\n\r\nThere are shortcuts and heuristics to use at any level of analysis, which are fine as long as valued work or contributed resources aren't ignored.
