You can use it when discussing the recognition or acceptance of underlying beliefs or premises in a particular context, such as in an argument or analysis.

In line with this assumption, and acknowledging that GEIs might provide a resolution to the Paradox, we found that all male traits (likely to be under strong selection) harboured additive genetic variance (at least when measured at the standard thermal treatment), and that they were also all involved in G × E interactions.
