Practicality--the actual, messy, real business of getting good research done--matters just as much as the methods or approaches that you choose. We can have a well-developed and appropriate methodological position and still make a complete mess of getting our research done. The reverse is equally true. Research is a craft. We can be very competent research craft workers, but if we don't know how we are making and justifying our claims for knowing the world, then our research will go nowhere useful.
