RRU - Day 11 - Espitemology and Rugby

I will never think of rugby without thinking of epistemology. Strange bedfellows I know. But having spent just over 5 hours yesterday and 9 hours today working on a supporting epistimological approach for a communication plan for a rugby-wear company they will be forever intertwined in my mind.

While this is crazy (and driving me crazy), it's still not as weird as realizing mid-movie that "Moneyball" is all about postitivist/post-postitivist vs interpretive/constructivist paradigm clash in baseball. BTW the post-postitivist quantitatative approach won. Boo hoo to scouting by intuition. Yeah to the power of statistics!

I don't want to think of the world in terms of research paradigms. I may need to rethink this ed-u-ma-cation thing.
