I’m adding to that below, in rot13, but let me first ask another question: have you looked for such claims, or is this strictly a rhetorical question?
A Google search of things like /discovery sociology/ or “sociological discovery” didn’t lead anywhere useful, but I don’t know how one would systematically look without already having a lot more familiarity with the field than I do. That doesn’t make it a rhetorical question though.

Fair enough. WP was my starting point—it didn’t seem too hard to turn up relatively robust-looking claims.
