You misread the entire thing imo C3PO. The subject here is the so called hard sciences, specifically medicine.

The quote is saying they aren't really much better than BS pseudo science.

It is the problem called the crisis of reproducibility.

Medicine isn't science generally. Doctors admit to mostly just guessing what is wrong with people--that is why they say, "get a second opinion." Opinions are not science.
