Would this be acceptable to use in a RESEARCH paper?

My topic is "Problems With Modern Education", and one of my points is that education lacks innovation, entrepreneurship, and dynamic thinking. So I wanted to use this as an opener for the paragraph: "If a doctor went to sleep 50 years ago and woke up today, nobody would allow that doctor in a hospital to do surgery. But, what about a teacher?" I'm concerned because its not really a fact or an opinion, so I don't know if its appropriate for a research paper. Let me know what you think. Also, I'd like to clarify that this is not the thesis statement, this is an introduction to one of my points in the research paper: That modern education lacks innovation, entrepreneurship, and dynamic thinking. Remember, this is a RESEARCH PAPER, not a persuasive essay or anything like that.

1. Research papers should not make statements that are not backed up by your research. That is more for a persuasive essay.
