+
+**II. Evidence 1: Definition of State of the Art**
+
+* It's not just about listing existing work but also about understanding what others have 
+done, what they didn't do well, and how your research can improve upon it.
+* (Source: "The State of the Art is the frenetic and relentless pursuit of doing what its 
+best at that time!" - Da Anunciação Marco)
