You've successfully turned the discussion from being about "can a field which does not produce reproducible results be a scientific field?" to "what are the requirements to judge whether a field is scientific?"
I have a PhD in chemistry, and a good bunch of published scientific articles. Besides that I've studied philosophy of science for half a year. I assume that should make me qualified (in your eyes) to reiterate the questions and points made by !plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works: "Can a field that is largely incapable of producing reproducible results be regarded as scientific?", "Why do so many fields that are incapable of producing reproducible results insist on being called scientific?".
