These quotes fail to notice that, notwithstanding all the non-repeatable results in physics that come and go, physicists eventually settle on a few extremely reliable theoretical precepts, precepts that lead to new technology. A classic example is quantum physics, the most successful and reliable scientific theory we have, a theory that makes numerical predictions about nature that prove accurate to better than ten decimal places: http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2011/05/05/the-most-precisely-tested-theo/ http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2011/05/05/the-most-preci... Psychologists have many non-repeatable results but don't shape reliable theories about their subject. Physicists have many non-repeatable results but do shape reliable theories about their subject. The computer I'm sitting at is proof of that.
