If a scholar "permits the perspectives and communicative signs of the participants in the ... social process, which are part of the data ... to dominate his [sic] own perspectives and instruments of inquiry and communication, the consequences can only be intellectual confusion, distortion in perception and report, and loss of ... enlightenment ..." Lasswell & McDougal 1971, p.380.
