You misunderstood. It's a science, sure. But psychology studies things that are not at all easily quantifiable, and as such, studies in psychology should be taken with a grain of salt, unless one is willing to thoroughly examine the methods and data before reading the conclusions.

And just to be clear, since you seem to be getting downvoted, I don't think you should be getting downvoted.

I get that alot of psychological studies aren't easily quantifiable, but I think most of the time that sounds like an excuse rather than a reason.

After almost 2 centuries, psychology is just now starting to bear some fruit. Though more research and caution is always welcome.
