Some might contend that the usefulness of statistical thought in
the social sciences is intuitively obvious, but so are untrue things (such
as the idea that the sun circles the earth), and some true things, such
as quantum mechanics and relativity theory, seem at first glance to be
counterintuitive. It is also important for both scientific enterprizes and
quantitative and analytical methods to be philosophically justified with
respect to their sphere of application. Since I had not before seen the
use of statistical thought in the social sciences phenomenologically
grounded, I decided to undertake the task myself.
