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 />
