THAT I def agree with--because sociology, poli sci, the humanities, etc., are largely written in general language (as opposed to mathematical symbols, like physics & econ) people think that they aren't allowed to have their own jargon, methods, styles, etc.

So we enter this uncanny valley where people demand that things like social science & humanities be relevant to everyday life & written in plain language (which no one makes of physics, or of, say, sports!) but then get mad when it disconfirms their hypotheses.
