Caino hypocriens thinks physics is hard precisely because physics is the easiest. It's so easy they can't fool themselves into thinking they're right when they're not.
The physics-chemistry-biology-psychology series is not hard-soft, it's easy-challenging. In psychology it's absolutely trivial to convince yourself of howling falsehoods, because the systems are so complicated, hence interesting.
I never cease to chuckle at the fact it goes back to trivial for sociology. Combo uh I mean Symmetry breaker!
In physics you can just do the experiment. The fact you can get sig figs out to 16 places means it's unchallenging to set up a clean experiment addressing these topics, not that physicists are more capable.
Physicists are smarter than chemists because smart folk go to places they can be lazy. Smarter folk notice when their own experiments are scamming them. Rather than fix the experiments - there's no grant for that, after all - they choose to avoid these experiments, and end up in physics. Those who are left behind are too dumb and get trapped by their own poor choices or can't even tell anything is wrong.
