1. Human sciences are "fuzzy" sciences, but they are still sciences.
I read an article from The Los Angeles times where Psychologist Timothy D. Wilson was furious with how some scientists claim that psychology is not a real science. He recalled how he was in a faculty meeting at the university where he works and a Biologist claimed that he was the only person present in the meeting from the science department. When he corrected the Biologist he acted as if that wasn’t a big deal. In addition he also mentions that some scientist he even went as far as blatantly saying that. “Psychology isn't science.“

2. Science requires data.
I just read an article that claims that Peruvians got sick from an apparent meteorite crater. Some people reported that they had symptoms of vomiting and headaches after they went to look at a crater left by a meteorite that crashed. One hundred people were examined but however there was no evidence to support their claim. Thus violating Barrett law correlation is not causation.
