This document discusses the argumentative nature of science and the role of interpretation in scientific work. The three main points are: 1) Science is a process of argumentation aimed at convincing others using evidence. Scientific arguments take a position and use empirical data to support it. 2) Scientific evidence depends on interpretation and the research goals or theories it aims to support. Evidence alone is meaningless without interpretation. 3) Fieldwork is a method used to gather empirical evidence but requires flexibility and adjustment based on what is found, as human subjects are unpredictable. Interpretation and evidence mutually shape each other in scientific work.
