The temptation of the analyst is to treat citizens as objects. By depriving people of autonomy in thought ..., it is possible to deny them citizenship in action. The moral role of the analyst, therefore, demands that cogitation enhance the values of interaction and not become a substitute for it. (Aaron Wildavsky)
