I suspect this is limited to economics and the social sciences. There is absolutely no way this holds up in the natural sciences like math, physics, etc. People forget the original name for what we call economics was "political economy". That alone should tell you all you need to know about the dangers of treating that field like a science. If you ever want to know why expert economists can't seem to agree on things that happened 50-100 years ago or make accurate predictions for the future, the original name is very telling. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if we were still debating the validity of f=ma or e=mc^2? Wouldn't it be crazy for someone to claim general relativity is just flat out wrong, even though GPS systems would not work properly without humans accepting it? Why is nothing remotely approaching reasonable standards used in the social sciences before acceptance?
