> I think the real problem is, is that the humanities -- the social sciences in particular

This construction makes it seem like you view social sciences as a subset of humanities. I was taught that neither is a subset of the other.

Where did you get your impression from? I assume it’s not the university in your username, since I’m certain they don’t share this view. (Source: I’m married to a humanities professor at that university. Also: https://exploredegrees.stanford.edu/schoolofhumanitiesandsci...)
