The trouble is that they successfuly made people believe social and human science are as reliable as hard science, using statistical data as mathematical proof.

My wife works in University, they are the most left leaning people I ever saw, but are afflicted by their own cognitive incoherence. For exemple they are against student visa fraud, but don't alert that the student never came as they don't want to be the one responsible. They just hope there are some right leaning people like my wife who will pull the trigger.
