One of the most characteristic traits of contemporary social science is the construction and testing of empirical generalisations. In spite of the steadily growing number of studies testing empirical generalizations almost no effort has been made to discuss the fruitfulness of this type of research. It is shown that in most cases empirical generalizations do not fit with reality. Special attention is drawn to the facts why such generalizations, nevertheless, are tested again and again. It turns out that assumptions are made which are considered to be plausible but which, in reality, prove to be wrong.
