Well it is a Science, sure it could be an often incorrectly taught Science but its still a Science.

Incorrectly taught? How so? It does has elements in common to the Social Sciences and humanities....

social science is a horrible name.
science should be about discovering the laws and underpinnings of anything natural, not man made like society.
social sciences should remain being called humanities.
physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics are the true sciences.

I think so too comrade; The word Social Science is a bit weak. Although psych falling under the catagory of a natural science is debatable....
Same as economics now that I think of it
