Yes but question is not whether data is necessary overall, but necessary for a given unit of publication?

Probably. Otherwise you just have some numbers that may or may not be interesting

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.

Your work is fabulous! Besides: We need more computational, simulation and theoretical work! Psych, cogsci and cogn neuroscie are/remain in a mess without it.

You have no idea how much all this/your support means to me.
