Is your social scientist example typical or atypical of robust data sets in the field?
Social scientists: We interviewed 11 sophomores about intersectional colonialism.
Hard scientists: We weighed the Andromeda galaxy and simulated what will happen when it collides with ours in 5 billion years.

There's a lot of very strong quantitative work in some social sciences (e.g. big data studies in econometrics, or political attitudes) , but in many, it seems possible to get a Ph.D., or even tenure, with 'qualitative' research on very small convenience samples.
