[-empyre-] Practice in Research & odd methods, rude mechanics

[Adrian Miles]

Please don't apologise for that. Was a needed interruption. Perhaps simple answer is that for me research needs to be evidenced based and contestable. Art by itself - the art thing - might do this but doesn't have or need to. What is the evidence based, contestable claim made by Monet? Joyce? Cage? For me, and I stress I'm often on my Pat Malone here, this is not the point of their work.  On the other hand as a researcher I can make evidence based contestable claims *about* their work. But that is different to and outside of the works in themselves.
