So data is necessary for a paper? Is this only the case in psych/cog sci? Or should it be for all sciences? Or why is human behaviour so special that we shouldn't have the same norm for other kinds of system? Genuinely open for args.

I find the idea that one paper should have it all ridiculous. Isn’t science a collective enterprise?

Psychology is not about the results of simulations. If you can’t connect to people data why would anyone care?

Connect yes but must this be done in the same paper? And why is psych special if this is the case? What about climate simulations? Economic simulations? Population ecology? Physical theories? What makes behaviour special?

"Science must have an empirical component" is very different to "every unit of communication within a science must have data"

Also to be really brutally honest, when I feel really dark I do start thinking I'm not a real scientist because of the attitudes of some (i.e., that because I don't do empirical work I'm not as good/scientific as them). This is rare of course as I love my work, but it happens.

Try to march more to the tune of your own drum. Remember it is these nay sayers who are the ones with the chips on their shoulders that are trying to offload them onto everyone else...

True that. The perhaps-not-too-surprising-truth is that most of the nay-saying THESE DAYS comes from inside my own head.
