I wouldn't say its a psuedo science, but I generally agree that as a social science, it is not a rock to solely place public policy upon. I would compare it to Langdellian Legal Science, or what you call a science of trying to find the law solely based on what has been decided before and to refine out of it basic principles that should always be followed. These two methods of thought are both based overly objectivying existence. People do stupid things. According to traditional economics, a college student will always want to go to class as to get the most out of his student loans. However, that is not always the case. There are some students that take some time off to do other things or to rest and traditional economics will not take that into account.
