I believe that Lubomir makes a very important point. Eclecticism is as
great a danger to pluralism as dogmatism. We need a more sophisticated
semantic method to distinguish the various methods and their forms of
data.
This is a philosophic problem and also a very practical problem. We
attempt to deal with it at the masters and doctoral level at Carnegie
Mellon--and we make some ventures into the matter at the undergraduate
level. It is difficult, but worth the long-term benefit, I think.
