[edit]"...science achieves certainty only by employing arbitrary assumptions, not factual reality"-Daniel W. Rossides [11]
"...a social construction by human actors....this applies equally to researchers...there is no objective reality which can be discovered by researchers and replicated by others, in contrast to the assumptions of positivist science"-G. Walsham[12]
"[A]ll researchers interpret the world through some sort of conceptual lens formed by their beliefs, previous experiences, existing knowledge, assumptions about the world and theories about knowledge and how it is accrued. The researcher’s conceptual lens acts as a filter: the importance placed on the huge range of observations made in the field (choosing to record or note some observations and not others, for example) is partly determined by this filter"-Carroll and Swatman[1]
"The fact is that scientists are not really as objective and dispassionate in their work as they would like you to think. Most scientists first get their ideas about how the world works not through rigorously logical processes but through hunches and wild guesses. As individuals, they often come to believe something to be true long before they assemble the hard evidence that will convince somebody else that it is."-Boyce Rensberger[13]
