I know you have a PHD and are learned. Which why it surprises me you would split hairs about social science being a science.

I don't think social science needs to have the same certainly as natural science to be called science. If it produces meaningful information better than randomness or myths, calling it a science is fine with me.

If one just has probability, that tells us a lot.

So is probability good enough to be called a science?.

In my book it is.

Any information better than randomness or gut instincts furthers the quest for a more humanitarian society, IMO.
