Within the statistical paradigm of quantitative & qualitative research, assumptions, values, & beliefs are not rigorously corresponded to empirical systems. Conversions of meaning to numbers and numbers to meaning rely on social constructions, not empirical evidence. This creates subjectivity in computations. Only the linguistic rigor of basic math can re-establish computational legitimacy.

Basic Social Math Beyond Statistics Testing Paradigms Against Empirical Evidence 息 2012 By Jared Lee Hanson Presented on 26 June 2012 at the Beijing INFORMS International Meeting
Losing the Power of Abstraction Why dont our calculations generalize across social contexts of operation? Assumptive vs Theoretic Generalization (Meredith, 1998)
Quantitative vs Qualitative OR/MS Identity Crisis: Bipolar Disorder? The role of the observer in calculating meaning Subjectivity from social constructions & cultural bias
Problem of Language
How do we re-establish objectivity in our computations?
Problem of Paradigms What questions do we ask to do epicycle calculations? What questions do we ask to do statistical calculations? Adding Epicycles & Model Complexity
Are We Asking Questions That Lead to Innovation? Do Planets Actually Move Through Space in This Way?
Establishing Direct Correspondence to Empirical Evidence Ending the Rigor vs Relevance Debate Decision making is a fundamental particle of management (Noonan, 2007) (Gulati, 2007) http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/06/12090848-your-views-and-videos-of-venus?lite
Anchoring on Empirics Lack of empirics in the modeling culture is an unaddressed issue (Hubbard & Samuelson, 2009) Achieving New Perspectives of Observation http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120609.html
