  1. I'd say the argument that EP can never be tested or recreated under a modern experiment holds more water. Everything about EP is extrapolating social phenomena from the past and often doesn't take into account all of the interacting variables such as environmental and economic pressures on people and how they influence society.

  2.  @kinetic-cybernetic  mathematics can be recreated countless times with the same stimuli, EP is incapable of testing its hypotheses under the correct stimuli and is currently largely useless in clinical applications. That means it should be taken with a massive grain of salt and not treated as fact, like what lots of these political actors do.
