Sadly, no. Or, not anywhere near that level of BS.
There are fields where the practitioners actively try to dis-prove themselves. Where they are aware of the limits of human psychology, and design experiments / analsyses to work around their own limitations. These fields are called "science".
There are other disciplines which don't do that, but who do fake it. See Noam Chomsky for a great explanation:

- mistermann 9y agoIt seemed to cut off before he got to the "faking" part.
- adekok 9y agoDid you watch / understand the video? The entire thing was about non-science departments faking the trappings of science. For another explanation, see "Cargo cult science" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_science His whole point (and mine) is that a field of study can follow the superficial trappings of science while at the same time not understanding the core principles of science. If that isn't "faking it", then you should explain why. Use examples.
- mistermann 9y agoI think he must have been too subtle.....a longer version of that video autoplayed a bit later and made it a bit more clear. People from those departments are often so deluded that if you didn't know who this man was, you may very well have thought he was advocating that they are equal.
