data can be accurate
interpretation of data can be dead wrong
Conclusions are not *necessarily* ludicrous
that is a given; you can't assume either way
however, methods are everything
all conclusions are shit except my own
`But test scores reflect accumulated advantages and disadvantages in each day of life up the one on which the test is taken. Race gaps on the SAT hold up a mirror to racial inequities in society as a whole. Equalizing educational opportunities and human capital acquisition earlier is the only way to ensure fairer outcomes.`
lets get that clear
Qualitative analysis is everything
and certain things you just cannot measure without effecting the measurment
You can't help people that don't want to be helped

qualitive analysis is not science
science is QUANTATIVE
not qualitive
Real-world analysis is qualitative
Implications
Conclusions
one is a function of the other
Methods are often determined qualitatively
this is why falsification is a pre-requisite
if a method is qualitive, it is by definition invalid as it isn't repeatable
No
I said
Determining the method to be used
methods are determined, ok
Is often selected via qualitative analysis
i see where you are going.
yes, the second step in the scientific method requires imagination
I m a g i n a t i o n !
how you set up the problem dictates the probabilty of solving the problem you are looking to address
so brainstorming for differnt approaches allow you to cast a wide net in terms of methods to pursue
once the hypothesis is fixed, then the methods are purely quantative again
Jaack, we've got an update :)))
so, yes, you are corrent that the method u choose is based on a qualitive evaluation in how well that method will facilitate your research
but if you are researching artifical gravity, i don't have how good your methods are
