Hi guys,

I think this debate has been going on for a while -- 
quantitative v. qualitative methods.  I have it specifically 
documented back to the 13th century.  However, the humanist 
in the specific debate I refer to was claiming that in 30 
years the debate would be resolved.  (By the way, I am 
bimethodological).

Maybe there is room for both types of exploration dependent 
on the issue?
