Richard Feynman's skeptical view on social science

The never ending debate on "real science" and "pseudo science". In this short clip, Richard Feynman points out the 'fallacies' of social science research. Interesting to watch.

    A good day to you Richard;
    and thanks for the recent kind comments.
    While Feynman's perspective has some merit, especially in line with your post on the "halo effect", I don't find it helpful or constructive. Check out David Deutsch's take explaining explanation here: http://www.ted.com/talks/david_deutsch_a_new_way_to_explain_explanation.html
