It is the task of science to replace magical explanations by
scientific ones, isn't it? Chemistry has replaced alchemy,
astronomy has replaced astrology, neuropsychology has
replaced phrenology, etc

I must admit I was hoping we could lure Nick
back to the list from his self-chosen exile by asking
some provocative questions. What would Nick say,
are there any unsolved problems in psychology?
Is there still any phlogiston theory in it which is
waiting to be replaced?
