I studied psychology and I found it shocking how terrible everyone was at statistics/mathematics. I've worked with PhD's (both psychology and political science) whose work relied on statistical analysis on a dataset, and I can say with absolute certainty that any 'true' results were purely accidental, based on their atrocious dataset and non-existent understanding of statistics. It was one of the main reasons why, sadly,, I decided to not pursue academia any further.
