For example, "This is a much better model, but going from research to clinical practice seems to be a very slow process." You omitted, mistakenly or not, the vital qualifier that the model in question is better not for general personality modeling and prediction, or even psychological pathology in general, but specifically for analyzing the much narrower domain of personality pathology. In your child post for the submission, you directly imply that psychology does not collect data and try to quantitatively predict things, saying "Start collecting data and start trying to quantitatively predict things." When called out on this error, you post a link to a study that does both of these, and the conclusions of which you misinterpreted. Yes, the replication crisis is real. Yes, psychology is probably the biggest offender. No, the crisis is nowhere remotely close to only being a major problem in psychology. Communications and research in QFT and the like are absolutely jammed packed with math because they are the easiest sciences to perform correctly, and are the most amenable to being accurately modeled with simple equations. I am not exaggerating when I say that - remember, a rigorous description of both general relativity and the entire Standard Model fit easily on one standard legal size sheet of paper. You can't even say that about chemistry, let alone even higher level emergent phenomena. Psychology is -hard- to reproduce, not from lack of effort, but because it's fucking hard.
