1. Human sciences are "fuzzy" sciences, but they are still sciences.
I found this article talking about how psychologists think psycology isn't science. Article I found

2. Science requires data.
I think that people ask a lot of questions that really cannot be answered easily without the help of science. For example, "How hot is the sun?" "How far away is Mars?" "How long will it take us to reach the moon?" "Is there anything living on other planets?" "How many times does the moon go around the Earth in a given year?" etc.

3. Science runs on careful criticism.
A lot of people criticize a group of people without researching on all of the people in the group. More often than not, people do their research on only one or two people in a group and criticize on those found facts when the rest of the group has nothing to do with the criticism because they were not involved.

4. Fight fire with fire, and data with data.
Here is something for you to laugh at, it's a site "proving" that science says the God isn't real, God doens't exist. Athiests I find that most people who are saying that "Science proves God doesn't exist," are the people who originally didn't believe in God to begin with.

5. There's power in precise terms.
Anything that people think is the same thing but really isn't. For exapmple, sex and gender. Here is a link to a video that argues this point. Youtube video

6. Correlation is not causation.
People often think that things will work for them because it has worked for others, this is not always the case. We see a bunch of commercials on different products that helped a lot of people either lose weight, gain muscle, be healthier, etc. Just because it worked for these people, doesn't mean that it will work for everyone. Here is a link to a weight loss commercial that explains just that. Commercial on topic

7. More of something good isn't always better.
This for me can have to do with anything. Some food that you think is "good" whether that be in taste or health wise, it may not actually be good for you and your body. For example, certain vegetables aren't actually that great for you, like avocados. Just because they are a vegetable, doesn't mean they are healthy for you. Also, too much of something good can be bad.

8. Beware the plausible, __especially__ if it works.
Same things as number 6, people often think that things will work for them because it has worked for others, this is not always the case. We see a bunch of commercials on different products that helped a lot of people either lose weight, gain muscle, be healthier, etc. Just because it worked for these people, doesn't mean that it will work for everyone. Here is a link to a weight loss commercial that explains just that. Youtube

9. Where there's smoke, there's smoke.
There are a lot of cases that deal with the law where a lot of people are accused of doing certain crimes and after all is said and done, they are found not guilty. There will still be certain people who think that the people did the crime, even though there is no evidence that they did it.

10. Lack of evidence doesn't mean it's false.
I feel like I could pull in from a few different questions for this one. Number 9 is a good example for this, because the police may not have found evidence to the crime but that doesn't mean that the person isn't guilty, it just means that they covered up their crime well enough to not get caught. Many times evidence is found after the case is closed, so the person is usually charged with something else that has to do with the crime but not the exact original crime. It can also go the other way, a person can be found guilty and then it is found out that they are not guilty a while later. This happens more frequently than you think. Actually not guilty
