  11. If you need "objective proof" of coding and data analysis, then
  12. why aren't you using quantitive methods?  If you derive insights
  13. from your interviews which could allow readers of your insights
  14. to gain further insights, then isn't that enough?  I understand
  15. your desire to be considered legitimate "researchers" rather
  16. than poets, but perhaps it is time to think about the
  17. ways poets "code their data" to make us more aware of the
  18. worlds around us. -- just some food for thoughts --
