I don't know about you, but I can't tell the difference between American English and British English from pronunciation alone.
I suppose English was very easy to learn for you, if your native language is Faroese.

I think most of what's called social science isn't really a science. I think linguistics is the only true social science. Phonetics is without a doubt an experiment-based science, even more so now in the time of speech-recognition software. Historical linguistics is also relatively scientific. De Saussure predicted the existence of a historical Indo-European language in which 'eH' corresponds to long 'a' in other Indo-European languages, 'Ha' corresponds to short 'a', and so on, 50 years before such a language was discovered. There is, as far as I know, nothing like that happening in other social sciences.
I'm so glad we have you to decide what is science. Way to shit on decades of work in the social sciences.
Hypotheses (based on background knowledge and well-standing theories) are constantly done in social science research, and many end up being supported. I'm sorry it's not "experimental enough" for ya.
Here's a link for you to check and hopefully learn something more accurate and fair about the social sciences (the article specifically is related to psychology but all the same):
