Your remarks are incorrect. So sociology's increasing reliance on numbers, math, formulae, and rigorous experimentation using the scientific method, all while dropping dogma and biased crap from last century, is "unscientific incoherence"? That's just plain nonsense. It sounds like you're talking about anthropology instead, which is all about dogma, personal experiences, and "intuitions".

I'd almost suspect you of wanting to go back to having humanist assumptions about social theory, instead of relying on numbers, but that would be illogical of you and you highly prize logic. Perhaps you might read more current things than what was published in the 80s and become conversant with computational sociology.
