I have seen little in those areas that I would recognize as a theory...

I'm not familiar with their literature."

This comment interests me because for a while now I've had a nagging
worry that a lot of the so-called theories in these fields were not
exactly theories.  The problem is, I can't put my finger on the
reason why.  I think it partly has to do with the overuse/abuse of
"models".  But there's a lot more to it than that.  Chris, how do
explanations in those fields fall short of your definition of a
theory?
