You know, one great thing about research is that it's all partial; 
that's why that section exists to discuss methodology and why that 
section exists to discuss the results.  I was always taught that even 
research that presented "flawed data" was good because it got done.  
Write it up and send it out and suggest that researchers attempting to 
replicate the study do a few things differently.
I'd love to see the article; I'll bet that you'll identify some 
concerns that others would invest in extending the research to test for 
themselves.

:-D.
