But Informatics is going to bed before midnight with *Psychology*, or some
other soft and squishy 'science' subject.

But it dreams of being with *Physics* or *Chemistry* or some other subject
with rock-hard abs, credibility, and no mark-down for its study score.

Sorry. I must stop here... for some reason, my complaints hotline is filled
with messages from Psych teachers.

"Hello? No... Yes... But... you must agree that psych hypotheses often lack
predictability and testability... What? No. I *don't* think I could shove
my head there."

Regards

Mark

P.S. Disclaimer - I am a qualified Psychology teacher.
