NAB, there is a very good reason why psychology is not a science, but there is no good reason why some people consider psychologists to be scientists; they are not.

Some people really could benefit by considering Feynman's 1st Principle when it comes to these silly articles:
"You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."

Talk about null hypothesis; try bull hypothesis.
