I've already explained what the point is, sometimes I find it convenient to throw down a framework before I start digging into sources. If I'm "not supposed to do it" and yet it still results in good articles being written, perhaps there's something wrong with having a rule against it (assuming we actually do)? And I certainly have no intention of changing my approach just because you personally don't prefer to do it that way.
There are various reasons why it's preferable to put a source down first (mostly to reduce the effort for subsequent editors attempting to determine whether to nominate your stub for deletion). But there's no "rule" as such that I'm aware of, other than WP:AFC.
