“Experiments are worse than worthless since by breaking up the structure of social action they destroy the phenomena under study.”
Don’t hold back, Rom, tell us what you really think!

"Remember they are wasting their time and that since their work is literally worthless, they should be regarded with a kind of sadness." - have added a letter from Rom Harré to MarkMcDermott to his tribute… likely of interest to #PsySciSky qual methods in particular!
