Regarding the first point you raise, here's a different study: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15582159.2015.99...

I honestly think social sciences aren't all that amenable to the scientific method - too hard to control all variables - and I'm sure someone could cherry pick studies to say the opposite of what I'm posting here. But, what else can we do?

Agreed. Social sciences are notoriously difficult to rigorously normalize, mostly due to the natural variation and impracticality of recruiting a valid cohort (in $ or time).

It's a miracle even drug development on the harder science side works as well as it does.

Thanks! I'll give this one a read later.
