It was baffling that as a man of science you'd be insulted by someone asking for empirical data to support your position. Also for the record there is some science involved in analysing human behaviour. Just because they aren't dealing with mathematical equations doesn't discredit them.
For example the common 'Broken Window' theory in criminology is supported by large amounts of research. Quite a lot of information highlighting the link between lower socio-economic areas and higher rates of violent crime.
