Methods should serve the question. 
The best tools are the ones that provide clear, usable answers to the problem at hand. 

Good science works in the field. 
Strong analysis accounts for real-world conditions, not just controlled settings. 

Clarity supports action. 
Results are most valuable when they can be understood and applied.
