N2  - In this paper I question a number of assumptions often made within mainstream sociology about time, the nature of society and about methodology. The first is that quantitative methods and especially statistically based analyses are always more scientific and/or reliable bases for action than well-researched and argued (in a literal sense) qualitative judgements collectively made in situ.<p />
