So a discipline that isn't able to conduct repeatable studies to support its key principles, can be computerized? OK.
Found the Scientologist!
This: "Computational psychiatry has suddenly made it possible to mine data from long-standing observations and link it to mathematical theories of cognition. It’s also become possible to develop computer-based experiments that carefully control environments so that specific behaviors can be studied in detail."
Yes, I think the main point here is that technology is allowing experiments to be conducted under controlled environments, which is hard to do in real life.
