Abstract
The varied possibilities to interpret data about taxa, their interrelationships and their geographic distributions, may be seen as different methods of analysis of data of these kinds... Different methods, even applied to the same data, tend towards different results. In a historical sense, different and conflicting results—different histories— cannot all be true. At least some must be artifactual and, therefore, method-generated (Nelson & Ladiges, 2001: 389)
