In psychology it is much much more difficult to tease out "correct" conclusions than in, for example, physics. This is a result of 1) the complicated nature of human behavior, which is not subject to (in comparison) simple mathematical formula; and 2) the unethical nature of trying to measure the effects of bizarre environments on children in order to analyze development.
This is what you said right afterwards, of course.
But the fuzzy sciences face challenges that naturally make them less rigorous in the scope of their conclusions.
