I also got the feeling of this being no more than hard-science-guy bashing the soft-sciences-guy.

As an admitted guy-in-the-middle, I'll add this deliberate provocation to the physicist/hard science guy: if the soft science guy dealt with simple systems as the ones you study [1], then maybe he would care about 100% abstract/infinitely-proof theories.

[1] Simple, as in, without complex organisms and interactions. Simple, as in, with less (or a finite set of) variables to account for.
