I think he has a valid reason to be skeptical

the social sciences have recently been shown to be overrun with leftist ideology to the point where nonsense like this is seen as valid

https://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/fake-study-saying-dog-parks-are-cesspool-for-rape-culture-earns-real-award-and-now-author-is-in-real-trouble

the tilt further and further left has been documented by even left leaning sources

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/02/27/research-confirms-professors-lean-left-questions-assumptions-about-what-means

and I suppose for people who lean left to begin with this may not be seen as an issue but it obviously is because what is researched and how much certain conclusions are challenged is obviously going to be adversely impacted

Bad journals exist everywhere.

They are not evidence that the social sciences as a whole are worthless.

This argument is bad.

EDIT: Yeahhhhh...
