But  don't get sloughed off into the 'post-modern' 
fallacy of thinking that  'truth' is only what I'm thinking at the moment. We 
have an obligation to  interpret data points, and if we have been responsible 
in collecting them,  someone else can come along and re-interpret them, even 
if they weren't  the data points that their (future) research designs would 
dictate. Data  are not 'facts' -- they're not even always 'artifacts' or 
context, so lets  not muddy the waters re-inventing the wheel




Come now, Tim, everyone knows truth is but a fantasy.
