Hi @timspeer, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting! Yes, I fully agree that early psychologist are the ones to blame for this skepticism :D but, as I said before, it has been nearly a century since behaviorists brought a measurable and analytical approach to the field! My point is, how long more do people need? On the other hand, when one sees that psychology nowadays is still largely associated with the theoretical and subjective methods of psychoanalyses one understands the confusion a little better!
Happy 2018 Tim :)
