The argument seems to be, I'm paraphrasing, "psych people can't deal with complex stuff" which really boils down to "I can't teach them complex stuff". Taken at face value the argument is psych researchers are not clever — reality of course is not aligned really with that view.

well, it seems undeniably true that not everyone can learn everything they might need/want to in a reasonable amount of time. rather than questioning that premise, I would instead go after the move from that observation to "and so we shouldn't teach it."

it may or may not be true that some people can't learn statistics/coding/math efficiently enough to make it through a science PhD with reasonable requirements. I'm pretty sure I would fail out of a math PhD in short order, for example. but so what? nobody owes me a PhD in math

Not sure that is relevant to what I was saying.
