"Anything scientific in economics is just the math part, which are orthogonal to economic behavior and markets."

You're just proving my point here, this is outright dismissive of all forms of experimentation that goes on in many fields of economics. Do not blame the study for your lack of deeper understanding of it; it has more to offer than just salaried academics and macroeconomic policycrafting.

Mock-experimentation has been going on since forever in all kind of pseudo-sciences of the "soft" variety.

Even Freud did clinical "experiments".
