>Physicists have a better understanding of statistics and better data to work with than pyschologists.
They certainly have better data to work with in most cases, but what makes you think that physicists understand statistics better than psychologists? Is this just the physics superiority complex?
No. Physicists just take a lot more math classes (including statistics and data analysis) during their undergrad/graduate studies than biologists or psychologists do.
Physics PhDs will have taken more math courses than Psychology PhDs on average, but I am pretty skeptical that they have taken more statistics courses. I would like to see the evidence for that if you have it.
