Hi Filippo,
You are correct in saying that first hand accounts are not always reliable on their own. This is a well documented problem of oral histories research. That is why cross-referencing research via triangulation is important.
In my mind, ideally, a good research platform should have both components - qualitative and quantitative. But again, it all depends on context.
Cheers,
Gjoko
