1. "Social science isn't science" is a claim, but there's no proof or detail or evidence or logic put forward to back thay claim.
2. Social science doesn't build computers or bridges,sure. But that's not definition of science (maybe engineering?). If for example social science could reliably predict social group dynamics and behaviours that would make it a science. Or if it could help a group of construction workers reliably work better together to build that bridge that also counts.
3. All sciences sadly have at times both real whopsie and repeatability crisis.
If we want to make a (fairly worn out) claim that social science is lacking, we really need to out forward a considered claim.
