On the one hand I completely agree that a lot of scientists across disciplines have too much confidence in the predictions of their models of complex systems. For example climate models predicting not only how much global temperature will rise but also on the local level, which seems far harder to predict. And the amount of studies that do not survive a replication attempt. But I don't believe that we can justify wasting tax money on people who don't try to back up their claims and instead just make up hypothesis after hypothesis, maybe based on a patient they knew, debating and sipping wine with their fellow intellectuals, prescribing morality under the guise of science and just laughing at us plebs. If you want to do that, become a writer or YouTuber, but not a scientist of any kind. If you're going to be a scientist at the very least try to back everything up with statistics. I know, It's work, it's not fun and it might not mean very much but you owe it to society to dig in and crunch those numbers.
