Science overstepping itself.

Forcing anything when it comes to emotional matters is effectively corrupting the evidence.

I am not opposed to science in favour of feeling, but one would not measure density with a microscope, so why measure feeling with logic?

It is unscientific.

If you are staging an experiment, you would measure each variable separately.

Logic where logical matters are concerned. Emotion where emotional matters are concerned.

One does not learn, scientifically, about the dark side of the moon by only noting the light side's characteristics.

Psychology is the study of subjectivity. Anecdotal evidence is overwhelming; objective evidence is secondary.

Where is the line between science and pseudo-science? Is it the line between what we know and do not?

In observing a phenomenon, we alter it. This, unless I am mistaken, was Heisenberg's finding.

Careful not to murder the object you are studying by pressing the probe too hard.

Soft facts are as much a constant in nature as hard facts. Where humanity is concerned, it is a matter of knowing when to stop.
