No, really, it's not.
There are very similar problems in most of the social AND natural sciences. In 2012, Amgen reported that they could only replicate 6/53 "landmark" cancer studies. Bayer had a similarly hard time replicating papers suggesting new drug targets in a smattering of fields including cardiology and oncology (14/67 successfully replicated).

You are both right. The softer the science, the worse the effect. I trust physics more than biology, and I trust biology more than sociology. Well, that implies I trust sociology... I really don't. Anything softer than physiological psychology is basically in the 'don't trust this until you have verify it, and then still mostly don't trust it'.
