they say credibility is hard to gain and easy to lose. Physics has as a standard to do predictions reproducible exactly to a something like 8 standard deviations. Psychology, as a domain, appears to be struggling to make predictions that are reproducible "up to 40% of the time". Now, even if we say they are twice that as an approximate totally unscientific show of good faith, we're still really far at 20% reproducible from reliable, credible knowledge as is promised by other fields, and would still make the field pretty murky at best
