Yeah, I was joking. (Mostly.) Of course, hypothesis formulation and testing is pretty similar across the sciences (social and physical), and I've found that a well-trained researcher can recognize good methods in a variety of fields.

As far as the math is concerned, my field coined its own term for some of the most commonly-used statistical methods...But as I always told students: once you understand regression analysis, you understand how most cause-effect relationships are tested.
