Thesis: All facts and theories do not have to be divided into predetermined subject categories, as it is possible to create a combined bank of knowledge that encompasses all areas of study.

Questions:

1. How can all facts and theories be classified in one general area of study?

2. How is this “combined bank of knowledge” specifically made up of all facts?

3. Would your argument be more or less accurate if you divided all theories and facts into specific categories and not just the 'combined bank'?
