Is there good experimental evidence supporting neoclassical economics or Freudian psychology? It is not the critic's duty to supply the evidence - it is the duty of those that want to use the models in real life situations to show that they work in the real world.
I read knb's point as "It is silly to dismiss all of psychology as bogus just because of Freudian psychology, just like it is worth considering whether all of neoclassical economics is broken or useless because some parts that are flawed."
Yes, this is what I meant.
