I disagree with your characterization of science. You seem to be using theory colloquially. In science, theory is not less than fact. Even if you are not intending a hierarchy, theory is not distinct from facts. I mentioned this above.

From your posts, it doesn't seem like you understand what "science" or "scientific" means. (At least in the way any scientist I know that uses those terms). If psychologists employ the scientific method, then the results they obtain employing the scientific method are by definition scientific. I discussed this above as well.
