Maybe stating the same thing another way, in order to help me, but it seems the softer science rely upon more assumptions which are not verifiable.
All science operates based on working assumptions. The harder science have working assumptions that are more easily testable or verifiable, whereas the softer ones have what appear reasonable but in fact are often times very tenuous.
