From what I have read, even math supersedes physics, in terms of being the most "hard" science.

I do not think those other disciplines "pretend" to be a science. They are well aware of their shortcoming. Nonetheless, soft sciences have made important contributions to humanity. Its just a different way of thinking about things.

Most soft science makes use of statistics and data collection - which is strongly informed by mathematics.

Science is not perfect but in general: Peer reviewed journal > The Bible.

Sandwiches are not perfect but in general: BLT > Shampoo.

Actually yeah - but I knew where this whole Science isn't perfect was leading up to.
