I shall simply agree with you that a sociological study based on 16 people falls short of accepted scientific study. <br><br>My personal view is much of sociology would like to be accepted as science but is for the most part subjective.<br>
<br>By the way it can be scientific I've worked on a number of Statistics Canada surveys were we did interview the required number of people from random samples and followed the ideals of the scientific method.<br><br>
