For those who think we are being merely silly, how would you establish
that what we are doing is NOT qualitative research?
This is one of QR's besetting problems: the lack of a rejection
criterion other than peer-acceptance or non-acceptance. The
acceptance/non-acceptance criterion is like the third grade class who
couldn't decide if a kitten was a boy or a girl -- so they decided to
vote on it.
