Misconception: Qualitative Evidence Is Weak Evidence
Captions available
The idea
Qualitative studies rank low in hierarchies built for intervention questions and rank highest for meaning questions. The ranking describes fit to a question type.
In practice
The same study, low for one question and highest for another.
Where people slip
This is the most consequential misreading in the whole course, because it discards a whole class of evidence on a technicality of the wrong instrument.
