Anyway, I'm keen on trying that out eh! quanti-quali-quanti-qauli... 2 sides of the same coin that is sloughing off electrons into my pocket that is sloughing off electrons into my skin that is sloughing off electrons into a delicious quantum soup... butterflies and hurricanes...

In some ways, the "'hard/soft" divide reminds me somewhat of the debate over whether qualitative research is as powerful or predictive as quantitative research. And, as you note, it's really about choices made <i>ex post facto</i>. Interesting, you can try a little quantum physics yourself <a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=DD39218F-E7F2-99DF-39D45DA3DD2602A1&ref=rss" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
