Funny, because (from what I&#x27;ve seen around here) you actually chanced upon a rare person on HN (me) that doesn&#x27;t consider math&#x2F;hard science automatically &quot;more profound&quot; than sociology and informal argumentation&#x2F;reasoning on a subject.<p>That said, though, having it in math enables ways to re-use and test that knowledge that having it in sociological reasoning does not -- even if the understanding both methods reached is comparable.
