> fewer available data points

we've probably gone as far as we can go on this.

When you don't have a lot of data, you have to torture what you have more and more. That makes the discipline not "science" but "sciencey." Just like economics is not science but sciencey.

We might as well call any theoretical discipline like math or computer science “not science” then, but somehow I doubt that’ll persuade you since you appear to have a priori decided on the relative validity of a bunch of disciplines anyways.
