Climate science – as one example – uses the thermodynamic properties of CO_2 as a major building block that can be studied extensively on your desk. And I'm not claiming that sociology cannot predict. I'm just saying that they cannot measure the small (CO_2) and extrapolate to the large to make predictions. Their predictions therefore need other methods.
