It's a science as long as people keep in mind the fundamental assumptions of human behavior that form the foundation on which it's built (i.e., that people will always act rationally, that people will always try to maximize how much money they make, and so on).  Too many people try to mindlessly apply it absolutely everywhere without asking if the fundamental assumptions have been met - if they aren't, it's totally inapplicable.
