what exactly is a transparent methodology? i know what a transparent
material
object is but how can a method of research be transparent? if its
transparent
isnt it in essence invisible? and if invisible isnt it without substantive
value? and if it is without value, why use it as a method?
thanks for the clarification (im old and stupid and i need stuff spelled
out).
