True, but that doesn't lessen the fact that psychology is still a science and uses scientific method.

If you read popular scientific journals such as New Scientist or Scientific American, you will regularly see reports of psychological research where proper hypotheses have been formed tested and revised using statistically significant samples, control groups, quantitative measurements, the whole shebang.

Obviusly there is some 'bad science' in psychology, but that is true of any science.
