There's a big difference between epidemiology, where extraneous variables can be measured, assessed, and compensated for, and social science, where they cannot be. The reliance of social science on assumptions and links of questionable validity is an excellent reason to question all conclusions reached by social scientists. Economists, for example, like to call themselves scientists, and even the Nobel Prize people agree with them. But how many of the supposed "laws" of economics have been proven by replicable experiments? The moment you assume something you cannot demonstrate, the word "science" should be abandoned.
