> The problem with 2, is that psychology is happy to acknowledge that many of its results are context dependent Yes. But that's only a specific kind of psychology. In my master I had a psychology professor (who came from the physics department originally) who clearly said all of that is bogus, and the only thing psychology should do are clear-cut studies like finding just noticeable differences. In his case, he was studying how the brain processes visual input that way. Very interesting, and worked well for him.
