No, ideas should always be stated with the context they were produced in, including the people who made it. You can’t publish a physics paper without context (why are we checking this equation, what is the theory behind it, who are the authors behind previous papers and what have they said), let alone a boring online news article. Ideas do not create themselves spontaneously, they need a mind behind them. Don’t be tedious!

I believe in Pythagoras' Theorem despite the considerable uncertainty about the context in which that idea was produced

Sure, but why do you have to know it? Who taught you it? Why is it important? Do you just absorb things without context?
