GA insist on solely using the qualitative research paradigm and reject<br />

quantitative methods? It doesn’t make sense to me. Unless, we’ve<br />

formed an unhealthy attachment with the hermeneutic paradigm - the<br />

qualitative tradition.<br />

Like most things in life, excess or elimination, belong to the<br />

realm of the id and superego. For a varied diet of knowledge and a<br />

healthy ego, we need a taste of quantitative methods, too. Therefore, I<br />

advocate for the ‘return of the repressed’. Food for thought.<br />

Cheerio.<br />
