Interesting quote to start with, but in order for it to fully make sense for the reader, it might need a few more words to describe how this is interpreted within logical positivism, and that (and why) you plan to take that quote out of context and (try to) apply it to social sciences. In the closing of the blog there is this really important remark about the use of instruments. This could definitely be linked to the chapter of Allmendinger, and elaborated on as such, to make a stronger connection with literature/theory. Also, the sound of your blog would be louder, if you’d bring home the opening statement that you start with (kind of, repeat it at the end). For it is a bit hard for the reader to understand what your view upon the relation between observability and ‘meaningfulness’ is, in the end. Some really nice and interesting questions you raise, though! And an intriguing topic, that your blog considers, and convincingly puts on agendas.
