What Social Science Does and Doesn't

The article explains by explaining that social sciences are imperfect and always has a plausibility of being false. Sciences such as biology, chemistry or physics, however are always proven with theories and proofs that evidently the science is fact. The problem with social sciences is that although it brings reasonable predictions, there is always a fair chance that there something may go wrong. Social sciences also bring the worst on others as if they place a statement in the public on what is to come to the economy, they're reputation would be on the line if they are right or wrong. If they are right, it will only boost their answers and always state that they were right in any type of situation when they were previously correct. In the world of sciences, this is not a good thing. Theories need to be proven with evidence and background information based on previous theories. If there was a based answer on a social theory on society, it would only make a tree that has a plausibility of truth or false answers, where sciences are always proven to be facts or made to be always be truthful and useful to develop other theories.
