Question: Tell me what you think about me, I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings.
A basic feature of psychological processes is their irreversibility. Every experience changes a person in a way that cannot be completely undone… one must assume that persons are continuously and irreversibly changing. […]
The logic of inductive inference entails that what is observed under given conditions at one time will occur again under the same conditions at a later time. But this logic can only be applied when it is possible to replicate the same initial conditions, and this is strictly impossible in the case of irreversible processes.
As a result, no psychological theory can attain the status of a “law”, and no result will be perfectly replicable.
