        Subject: Checking an Ian Hacking quote

Dear all

I've seen this Ian Hacking quote,

“look at the numbers, their authors, their methods, their interests,
etc. Always, I say, work on the ground floor” (Hacking 1999).

But I cant find source!

It is not in The Social Construction of What? (as cited). Gscholar and
Gbooks just give the original source (Harding 2015 Objectivity for
Sciences from Below)

What have I missed? Any pointers much appreciated

best wishes

davidz

From a review of my 2020 Mambila divination monograph:
"The book, with its exceptional ambition and thorough ethnography,
is essential for all social scientists studying divination."
