that more broadly would make sense to me. But i still wouldn't consider polsci to be polsci, i would consider it to be a sub set of sociology.

It's all kind of a subset of sociology. Why do groups make decisions? It's down to individual psychology. But that's similar to saying all science is derivative of physics. It's technically true, but it does us more favors to split it up.

i think calling it "political sciences" is probably reasonably accurate.

But yeah. Naming is just hard.
