A Methodology Quote

Here’s a methodology quote for you all to discuss:
“Methodologies, especially quantitative ones, that pretend to be totally free of bias and perspective are not only deceiving themselves and their audience. They pretend to be free of bias in order to assert their own intellectual superiority, especially by comparison to “soft"methods such as participant observation, ethnomethodology, sheer fiction.”
Ben Agger, 2004 The Virtual Self, p94
