One of the “don’ts” in analyzing or evaluating a primary source is to avoid recreating the author’s experience of his society. Do you agree to this statement? If yes, why? If no, why not?​

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

One of the “don’ts” in analyzing or evaluating a primary source is to avoid recreating the author’s experience of his society.

No, I don't agree with this statement because I consider that in order to truly understand the primary source, a good researcher has to understand the circumstance and the time in which the primary source was created.

This means, if it was during a war or a revolutionary period, the researcher has to understand and think as the author of the source did.

ANd I am clear using my words: understand. Not biasing the records, the facts, or misinterpret the situation, the context, or the facts.
