Abstract
In 1908 George Simmel challenged German Academic Sociology, when he proposed that the distinction between form and content was a fundamental prerequisite in order to set up Sociology as a Science. However, the difficulty in delving into and elaborating these concepts (in which Simmel himself failed) has caused many later authors to abandon the distinction, minimizing its importance. On the other hand, studying Military Drill, as if it was a Laboratory Case, we have found a way to respond to that sociological challenge. We have succeeded in producing a rigorous formal theory, that implies a generally valid statistical principle, that can be applied to all other social contents.
