“假设你的论点在经验上是合理的，那又怎样？”民族志学者特别容易受到这个问题的影响，因为他们的论据通常散布在他们的文本中，因为他们的目的是描述对他们的主题显而易见的东西，因为这种粗鲁的问题通常只是默默地提出。也许民族志最常见的理由是，社会力量创造了一种道德化的无知，将研究对象和研究受众分开。作者讨论了民族志学者在试图弥合这一差距时所面临的几个困境，并阐述了自然主义民族志的策略。最后，他简要地讨论了更广泛的认股权证，确定了五个额外的，经常使用的，民族志研究的补充理由。
“Assuming your argument is empirically sound, so what?” Ethnographers are especially vulnerable to this question because their warrants are commonly diffused throughout their texts, because they aim to describe what is obvious to their subjects, and because such rude questions usually are raised only silently. Perhaps the most common warrant for ethnography is a claim that social forces have created a moralized ignorance that separates research subjects and the research audience. The author discusses several dilemmas that plague ethnographers when they attempt to bridge the gap, and then he describes the strategy of naturalistic ethnography. Last, he briefly addresses a broader range of warrants, identifying five additional, frequently used, complementary justifications for ethnographic studies.
