Abstract
When they criticize conversational analysis for having created a 'wonderful circle' in its analysis of question-answer pairs, Bruce and Wallis show how distressingly out-of-tune they are with the ethnomethodological reasoning which they think they are criticizing. We begin debate with their paper 'Rescuing Motive', published in the March 1983 edition of B.J.S, with attention to this particular in- stance of incomprehension not because we think it central but because it is symptomatic, and allows us to show in brief just how thoroughgoing and difficult of dissolution are these misunderstandings. Discussion of more central questions follows.
