Methodology
- Theories are also tied up with methodology.
- Scientific method is central to modern scientific theory.
- What is scientific method? Testable hypothesis + repeatable
experiment.
- Does a good experiment prove the hypothesis?
- What about thousands of experiments?
- What about other qualitative methods (e.g. Ethnography)?
- What about combining mehtods?
- They all add evidence, but no method (aside from proof) proves
a sentence (a hypothesis, or a theory).
