@tiago @jacomyma ok, let me start then! :eyeless_triumph: I would hold that "purely descriptive" is only a problem when seeking answers to some kinds of research questions, not others. RQs in the humanities and social sciences frequently do not need inferential methods.

@tiago @jacomyma Fair enough. I don't think I can make a strong case FOR modularity maximization. I suppose it has the strength of being easily interpretable. Not sure to what extent that is true of SBM.Making a stronger case would require me to have a grasp on its competitors. As somebody who *applies* network techniques, my grasp doesn't reach far enough.So I do what is normal under the scholarly division of labor and go with what is established in my field and practiced by people whose work I trust to be good.When I see you arguing against that, I have to assess whether the arguments you are making against established practice should disqualify it for my uses, or whether you are coming from someplace very different in making this judgement.(Sorry, not good controversy fodder I fear.)

@tiago @jacomyma well for instance a starting question may often be purely descriptive (what is going on?), and a follow-up question may be interpretative (what does it mean?).For instance, one may first ask what kinds of subgroups appear to exist, and then ask how differently positioned people perceive these social divisions. Neither of those questions needs to get at the underlying process that created the apparent subgroups.

@tiago the "nodes" connected by human action, which is never random nor entirely accounted for by a single mechanism. @jacomyma

@tiago @jacomyma Not evading at all. As requested, I was trying to give an example of how RQs in the social sciences may differ. Another difference is that your proposed counterfactual doesn't make sense because humans (we!) don't work that way.I understand the problems you are talking about regarding modularity. I am just trying to understand whether you are being hyperbolic.

@tiago @jacomyma sure, happy to say that would be a problem. It also sounds like a very uninteresting study :)

@tiago @jacomyma I agree that if people jumped to the conclusion "look, this green cluster is there because they are caught in a filter bubble" or whatever, that would be a problem.But if the clusters are a starting point for further inquiry drawing on additional methods and data, which they very often are, then their imperfections do not doom the whole enterprise.
