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

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

Political leanings have nothing to do with this. He is wrong about how P-values are used. Doesn't matter if this lady is the sjw queen of the blue haired screechers or a pundent for Fox News, she is not wrong because her P-values are too high. If there are other concerns I'm happy to hear them but "P-values are too high" is just crap. 

you misunderstand me, i'm simply offering a reason for why he's skeptical of the research conclusions to begin with

he may very well be wrong when it comes to pee values, but what i'm saying is that he's trying to justify a lack of trust in social sciences that is to some extent valid

the social sciences are losing credibility right now and he's right to be wary when it comes to conclusions coming out of that field
