Science!

Psychology uses made up "theoretical" numbers to balance their equations...

So not sciency enough.

Can you provide an example?

Nah

jesus fucking christ, how stupid can these klansmen get?

I don't think the wee lad is a klansman.
He just has a strong disapproval of the title "science" being applied to the softer fields. By extension, his own argument was undone through non-action.

Hypothesis : Wee Lad doesn't know what he is talking about.

Procedure: ask for examples to support argument.

Data: N/A

Conclusion: In this experiment, the opinion on the nature of science from a representative of the alcoholic potato-farming culture was explored. After attempting to divulge a coherent response of merit and receiving none, it is concluded the representative has no valid argument to support the initial, negative opinion of the soft sciences. Further study may be required.

Despite me not remembering the specifics of something I "studied" (ie. smoked marijuanas and listened to) years ago, there is a complete lack of external validity to psychological experimentation.

Even with a large sample size (which btw is rarely used) there are too many issues, which psychologists apply shady inferential statistics to overcome.

Also, potato.

They haven't reached a limit, if there are any. I use satire as a comparison and when they get stupid enough that you can't tell satire from right wing news, I think we might soon reach limits.

 

[abandonconflict]

Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong, maybe instead of limits they have quotas.

then disprove pavlov's findings or the bystander effect.

if they completely lack external validity, then it should be no problem for you, despite your diminutive 4'11'' stature.

Is @Harrekin really 4'11"? Scientifically speaking, that is evidence enough to label him as a "wee lad".

You're talking about outcomes of investigation, not the investigation itself.
When was the last time you reviewed the Kuhn/Popper debate?

Also, potato.

Oh sure...turn to the potato defense when under the knife...clever
