Political Science and Social Science seem to be more spurious than Computer Science. At least areas of computer science deal with physics and / or mathematics (Electron tunneling, dielectric effect etc.)

I agree that the term is used too broadly. I don't regard myself as a "Computer Scientist". I'd argue that "Software Engineer" is another term that is too loosely applied, although it does have a definition.
