Twenty-five transcripts sufficed because Nazi-era ideological reactions repeated monotonously

Evidence

Restricting the analysis to twenty-five transcripts seemed to be a sensible way of saving work, since the quantitative analysis and samples had shown that the types of reaction evident in these twenty-five transcripts appeared again and again throughout the discussion materials with a rigidity and monotony that were characteristic of the whole field of political ideology. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2025
