So what?

Math and statistics are both used to predict outcomes in the social sciences for Christ's sake-lol!

And outcomes are what the hell we are talking about, because probable outcomes determine what programs to fund for a better society.

The right wing doesn't believe in the social sciences and is why their programs never work.

They believe in "common sense" which is neither common or usually makes much sense"-lol~

We liberals rely on social science , like the Nordic countries to decide which programs to fund.

Right winger believe in myths.

"Social science uses the hard science of statistics"
Statistics is a branch of mathematics.

"Statistics is a branch of mathematics."

Or is it an Art that desperately wants to be a science like social science that put science in its name because it desperately wants to be one as well.
