1. Human sciences are "fuzzy" sciences, but they are still sciences.
"psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability." (http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/13/news/la-ol-blowback-pscyhology-science-20120713) This article is stating that psychology is not a real science which brakes the first law.

2. Science requires data.
This law states that all science requires hard data such as citeing your source as i did for law #1's description a violation of this law would be if i would have put the quote in my statement and not have cited it foe example; "psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability."........ this is a violation of law #2

3. Science runs on careful criticism.
“Doctors should be aware that there is no research to demonstrate the effectiveness of risperidone for ADHD in people with intellectual disability, and should carefully monitor each case and consider alternative treatments before trying risperidone.” (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090429165917.htm) this is a clear violation of the third law which states that sloppy criticism, like the example that i have given, is a violation of the law.

4. Fight fire with fire, and data with data.
This article clearly violates Barrett law number four, the article states "some even argue that embryo has the inherent capacity to develop into an adult and will do so only if we leave it alone." no where in this article does this writer state their source but they also try to out source the research of using a embryo for stem cell research..also argues just because it may be morally right to leave a embryo alone doesn't mean we should. https://sites.google.com/site/medicalstemcellresearch/an-embryo-is-not-a-human-being

5. There's power in precise terms.
"researchers at Cornell University compared stories told by 14 imprisoned psychopathic male murderers with those of 38 convicted murderers who were not diagnosed as psychopathic." "Psychopaths used twice as many words relating to physical needs, such as food, sex or money, while non-psychopaths used more words about social needs, including family, religion and spirituality." http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/thinking-tech/how-to-tell-whos-a-psychopath/10571 http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/04/19/four-bad-arguments-against-evo/ http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/fischer/080418
