Political Science is not science.

[Dr. Sivana]

Political Science is not science.

True story. When I was a sophomore at U of Chicago as a polysci major I had to take a common core sequence for three quarters in "physical science". So I signed up for a geology/meterology sequence. The teacher for the second quarter was the Pr. Fujita, the world's foremost expert on tornadoes (then and now). He was hard to understand, but very good otherwise. I had side issues and approached him about getting a chance for a redo on something.

His first and only question, "What your major?"

"Political Science"

"Political Science. Hah! That not science!"

I said nothing but adopted a posture and demeanor of "Yes sir."
He cut me the break.

The one line I remember was a quip he made, stating authoritatively that the U.S. gets 90% of the world's tornadoes, but few deaths, because when tornadoes hit, Americans go to basement, while Japanese take out camera.

Neither is politicized science.
