Samenvatting

The 30 Apr 1980 riots in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, that accompanied the accession of Queen Beatrix were immediately followed by explanations by many Dutch social scientists, the mass media, & members of parliament. It is shown that these explanations, plausible as they all may seem at first sight, tend to contradict each other. None shows respect for empirical reality. It is as if ignorance of what really happened that day is a necessary condition for grand theory. HA.
