Re why this categorization is important - not explicitly mentioned in the article: Science is a useful tool for learning new things, and developing new tech and guidance. By bringing attention to psychology's questionable adherance to scientific processes, you question the value it brings. This is important when evaluating the results of work produced by the field, and what actions to take based on them. When something is categorized as "science", you make assumptions about it. Categorizing psychology this way is misleading, and devalues the categorization's purpose.
