A methodology is a series of steps that one takes to reach a conclusion and the outlining of these steps so that others may reach the same conclusion. If they do not, the methodology is suspect. Or the expectancy aura of the methodology user is suspected of being seriously defunct.
Perhaps it is the case that all "findings" are linked irrevocably to particular methodologies and do not exist independently as realities at all. A methodology may call a conclusion into existence.
There may also be an infinite number of conclusions awaiting their methodology of discovery. We build methodological bridges to what we feel to be true (else why waste the effort?) and feel confirmed and justified when we arrive at this place where we already are. The difference is now we can tell others how to get there: "If you walk this path, you will see what I mean."
Disbelievers in the phenomenon (those less likely to "see deeply") may follow the methodology and get nowhere. Likewise, those for whom the methodology worked before may now find it a limp biscuit. Interest seems to be a deciding factor here. We discover that in which we are interested. Interest creates capacity and we discover that for which we have capaciousness.
This is true not only for formal science but in every realm of being a human.
