   • 1997, Don B. Kates, Gary Kleck, The Great American Gun Debate, page 123:

     Medical and public health discussion of firearms issues have consistently exemplified "sagecraft" in the Znanieckian concept of partisan academic "sages" inventing, selecting, or misinterpreting data to validate preordained conclusions.

   • 2012, Barry Cooper, Martyn Hammersley, Roger Gomm, Challenging the Qualitative-Quantitative Divide:

     It is not at all clear whether Lindesmith's and Cressey's theories fit this Znanieckian model; or, indeed, whether that model is viable.
