I found the blog much to do with my interests. I’m a researcher, with a long term experience in in-depth research and analysis on consequences of IT on human beongs and society. I often encounter the same problems/ fundamental questions that you discuss here through my analysis on research results and statistical data.

I’m in an opinion that reality checking is most important to validate and correctly interprest the data / desk search results.

Creating question is an important part of getting to knowe the truth. We often see underlying prejudice in the questionnaires.
For example, in some questionnaire, it is prejudged that all the “scientists” are Christian and men.

Congratulations! You have inspired my thinking even in Sunday evening.
