Well, psychology rarely gives any precise answers. That should give us something to reproach her for, and I kind of agree.
But is physics any different? until recently, they believed that nothing is smaller than an atom.
Then they proved that there is.
And here you are, there was an exact answer that was refuted.
Now psychology involves medicine, pharmacy, neurophysiology, chemistry, and a host of other sciences.
