Hi Mike

1.You wrote,

"...that construct validity is one of the greatest challengest for the modern social scientist."

What Carmen and I attempted in the epistemology that we developed for NLP in Whispering was to point out that it is not only social scientists that confront this issue but everyone - whether we are speaking of particle physics or "why" that neighbor of mine is so...

We further insist that the appropriate criterion for models is utility, pure and simple - do people who study and integrate into their behavior the explicit representations we call that collection of patterns demonstrate behavior approaching the original model?

2. You wrote,

"What some social scientists seem to hope their readers will forget, however, is that when construct validity is successfully challenged, statistical validity vaporizes or becomes insignificant..."

What do you understand to be the motivation of such social scientists?

All the best,

John
