The paper opens by characterizing recent discourse about empirical educational research as the new Babel-critics, using different theoretical vocabularies and making different deep assumptions about the nature of social life, are failing to communicate with each other. After locating some of the critical positions on a left-right continuum, the main discussion focusses upon the end of this continuum where there are located the recent attempts to restore rigor to educational research by using the so-called gold standard of randomized field trials. It is argued that positions at this end of the continuum misrepresent the nature of science, and


some examples are briefly mentioned in order to covey the point that it is fruitful to view scientists as making convincing cases, cases that appeal to a wide variety of evidence. This assessment of scientific cases is called the platinum standard.
