Seymour等人声称实证研究方法不适合研究施工管理。相反，主流的研究方法已经被修改，以满足这些研究的特殊要求，传统的研究方法在科学的实质性进步中发挥了重要作用。Seymour等人的论点，表面上是关于研究方法的，本质上是反科学的，而且，尽管它已经存在了很长一段时间，没有积极的成就表明我们会从采用它中受益。的主张，实证研究方法是我们最好的保险，以防止坏的研究。
Seymour et al. claim that positivist research methods are unsuitable for research into construction management. On the contrary, mainstream methodology has been modified to deal with the special demands of such research and conventional research methods have been instrumental in substantial advances in science. Seymour et al.'s argument, ostensibly about research methods, is essentially anti-scientific, and, although it has been around for a long time, there are no positive achievements to suggest that we would benefit from adopting it. Contrary to Seymour et al.'s claims, positivist research methods are our best insurance against bad research.
