Because this orthodoxy is so dominant and strong, its adherents often take it for granted as right and self-evident. Rival perspectives from the same paradigm or outside its bounds appear as satellites defining alternative points of view. Their impact upon the orthodoxy, however, is rarely very significant. They are seldom strong enough to establish themselves as anything more than a somewhat deviant set of approaches. As a result the possibilities which they offer are rarely explored, let alone understood.

Like an inverse of the climber who justifies the ascent of a mountain by the immortal phrase "because it was there," much social science research appears to be justified on the basis that it was not there. On reflection, we doubt the absence of sth is in itself justification of need.
