Well those "definitions" don't deal with essential concepts of the scientific process like falsifiability or reductionism, both of which are highly debatable when it comes to the study of complex emergent phenomena, such as psychology. Nor do they deal with the idea of good science vs bad science, and what makes those things. I suspect "science" to a physicist probably means something slightly different to a person who writes dictionaries.
