I'm sorry but this is a classic example of experts in one field (assuming CS by virtue of posting on Hacker News) assuming that they know anything worth saying

I'm sorry but this is a classic example of experts in one field (assuming CS by virtue of posting on Hacker News) assuming that they know anything worth saying about another field. There actually is a mountain of quantitative outcome research across therapy approaches. It's readily readable in metastudy form on Google Scholar and elsewhere.

Or maybe it's just a classic example of a pseudo-field? >There actually is a mountain of quantitative outcome research across therapy approaches "Quantitative outcomes" for non-quantifiable conditions means "numerical statistics on answers in questionaires" and such. >It's readily readable in metastudy form on Google Scholar and elsewhere. Ah, metastudies, that pinnacle of rigour. "We hastily surveyed 200 varying quality, full of methodological errors, non replicating for the most part, primary studies, and the field is totally a success".
