Argument 36-The following appeared in an article written by Dr. Karp, an anthropologist.

"Twenty years ago Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia and concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. However, my recent interviews with children living in the group of islands that includes Tertia show that these children spend much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. This research proves that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture is false, and thus that the observation-centered approach to studying cultures is invalid. Because they are using the interview-centered method, my team of graduate students working in Tertia will establish a much more accurate understanding of child-rearing traditions there and in other island cultures." 1.仅仅通过孩子们谈论他们双亲多一点无法说明他们是由其抚养而成的，可能仅仅是因为他们平时接触的比较多而已。 2.即便是由双亲抚养而成的，也不能说明F博士的结论是错误的。因为这两个调查期间经过了20年，有可能情况已经发生了改变。 3.没有证据来证明以观察为主来研究文化的缺点，以及以采访为主调查的优点。
