It's an interesting argument, but (coming from a physics perspective) I don't know if psychology should let Physics Envy drive it away from being about exploring phenomenology. It seems to me like any "theory" that psychologists come up with is going to be necessarily less ironclad than what physicists come up with - more likely to be a guideline (a mnemonic, almost) for understanding how phenomena relate to one another. I sort of think their time is more profitably spent in just obtaining encyclopedic knowledge of phenomena. This could all just be my obsession with first principles talking, though.
