At minimum the social and even a fair bit of medical science are scams, as they rarely have enough evidence to definitively draw claims due to a mixture of flawed methodology, small sample sizes, and lack of additional studies to reinforce their claims. See for instance the claim every man makes at some point, that “going braless makes breasts perkier”. Small sample size that isn’t indicative of all breast sizes/shapes, few if any studies supporting their findings. At least with engineering experimentation is far easier, can be extrapolated, and can even be simulated reliably.
And no, one does not claim to be “an expert in all disciplines at once” by pointing out the objective fact that we lack concrete data in a lot of fields.
