I didn't claim that it means they are "bad" whatever that means.

I am saying that we should take those claims less seriously, especially if the results from that domain don't replicate, as in the case of psychology and other social sciences.

Maybe there is little we can conclusively say about those domains.

Yes we're in agreement on this.

There was little we could conclusively say about any domain until long term, concerted effort was made to understand each of them.
