Gathering data where it can be found is certainly important, as is the attempt to explain patterns in the evidence. I don't say the social sciences are entirely illegitimate or useless. I say their prospects and successes have been exaggerated for business purposes.

What are the chances that the experiments that support the discoveries you adduce fall afoul of the replication crisis in the social sciences? That crisis is due to (1) the capitalist capture of the academy, and (2) the wrongheadedness of a physicalist approach to explaining social phenomena.

Human societies are effectively unnatural since people are gross anomalies in the universe. Therefore, the attempt to study society as though it were just one more level of nature, with a physicist's objectification is foolhardy. The results of the research won't be reliably replicated because social regularities are subject more to social prescriptions than to natural laws.
