Humanities aren't a science and shouldn't be treat...
Makes me think of the joke on "Big Bang Theory" (which am almost ashamed to admit enjoying):
Caricatured dumb humanities major: "That's what I love about math, there's no one right answer!"

Well math is not a science either. I acknowledge that there is debate about if formal sciences (logic, math, theoretical CS) are a science, but I'm with Popper in saying that the core of a science is falsifiability which does not apply to math.
