I'd agree. For me the technical agent that fixes up social problems (using folk psychology) seems to be a different one that fixes up scientific problems (that is not to say that there are singular agents for both, but I can tell the difference between the two).

I can apply the scientific one to the social problems, but I feel less good when doing so and takes more time.
