Concerning Winters of Discontent: Does Methodology or Rhetoric Contain the Answer to a Possible Malaise?

Abstract

There is a German legend concerning the Tausendfuss (only somewhat less hyperbolised in English as the centipede). Although not exactly swift, the Tausendfuss does get around. How it manages the necessary coordination can be a matter of no small interest. Unable to figure out the answer on any other basis, one investigator decided to ask a representative Tausendfuss. Given this task of self‐reflection, the Tausendfuss rose to the level of his interrogator's confusion and never walked again.
