For many sciences, like psychology, that's not normally an option.

Psychology is basically applied neuroscience. They are both in their infancy and we are using the best information we can, but I wouldn't call the body of work comparable to other sciences.
Which raises the question why we study this subject at all, if it's not actually applicable to anything beyond making viral TED talks.
