Just for the record since I'm not a native speaker: the Finnish language doesn't in normal use make a distinction between the sciences. We naturally have a term for natural sciences as well as social sciences, but refer to these generally just as "sciences", for example "history science". If your definition of science in English concerns natural sciences, then I can understand the point.

However, if you exclude social sciences completely from the scientific field, then I must disagree.
