research is the inquiry; what research produces are responses to the
inquiry (aka "knowledge") -
though we describe it differently, there seems to be a merging of ideas
about methods as specific techniques (what one relies upon for conducting
a specific research inquiry) and methodologies as the theoretical agrument
for a particular technique in the realms of a particular inquiry.

this note and then another, I do not cling to life."
