The reason that social science can't model (aka overfit) many phenomena, is that it involves strictly nonlinear data where cultures and humans are involved.

Right, they currently can't accurately model the phenomena and thus their models have little to no predictive power. We are in agreement then. Also, it seems to me that social sciences tend to produce models that are underfit rather than overfit.
So why then do we accept conclusions from scientists who have weak models with little predictive power? This is what my comment above was talking about.

It's definitely not uneducated and I don't think it's entirely rubbish either.
