The arrogance of a lot of the comments is depressing. What would you think if a Humanities major said that Math, Science, etc. were easy because they were simply formalisms. Simply gather the inputs, put them through a fixed series of steps and receive your precious "objective answers". And remember a mere computer (and we all know they are simply stupid, passive machines) can solve math problems.
That position is a caricature - and completely wrongheaded, but it's not much worse than many of the statements here about Humanities. There is no simple move from "non-objective answer" to "easy", nor - even more - from "non-objective and many possible answers" to "anything goes random subjectivism". That's just sloppy thinking.
tl;dr If you find yourself comparing an entire academic field to a degree in basket weaving, you've gone off the rails.
