Food grown with organic fertilizer is better for you than food grow without
This is Feynman's example of a Social Science? The guy needs his head examined by a physiologist. He is talking about biology.
Social Science may not use the same tools as you would find in Feynman's discipline, but it is structured and it does follow the same principles that are required for a scientific study.
Feynman claims that there are no laws as a result of social science and I would argue that there are many among the many sub-disciplines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_sciences
Feynman is a physicist whose cognitive focus is measuring matter and motion, with mathematics and modeling. It is understandable to a social anthropologist that a man in his field of study would determine that which cannot be measured with his tools would not be measurable by his standards. A linguist could, deconstruct his choice of language and with some measure of accuracy predict what may be said on most subjects, given his success, ego, and lack of tools to do someone else's job on a professional scientific level. Just because he's a recognizable physicist doesn't mean he knows a hill of beans about economics, or cognitive analysis. I would like to see him define and measure fear, for example.
