Hey, the rest of the social sciences just had to get with mathematical modelling PoliSci is making good inroads now. It's the "unfalsifiable social sciences" who never run a regression on anything that will stay mad

See what I mean! Let's chat after we review your document on how regression assumptions map onto analysis of reflexive and social creatures in systems full of coupling (no independence) and feedback loops for which we don't have a good working model at any level!

True, I'd add: All other social sciences -> Economics Economists are all about internal warfare: Macroeconomists <--> Microeconomists Theory <-----> Empirics Structural estimation <----> Reduced form

Feel like structural vs reduced form and theory vs. empirics are mostly one way at this point though
