Hi All,
I’m with Garry, at least part of the way.
I find the disconnect between this thread and design practice profound, breathtaking in its lack of relevance outside academic debates of some 50 years ago, and profoundly depressing. I’m not sure the term “incommensurate” covers it, but it’s the one that comes most readily to mind. Perhaps I need another brandy!
With so many assumptions floating around about the nature of “evidence”, and all the clever and smart arguments that can be used to defend or deflate a particular points of view on the subject, it might be useful to ask practitioners why they used the term, in what context, and how they do useful work that involves the term “evidence”.
All the rest seems to me like posturing.
David
