It's not a scientific process if they can't make testable predictions. I'm a quant, and anyone in this field will quickly realise it's super easy to build all kind of fancy models that look perfect when looking at the past but fail completely at predicting the future. Predictions that haven't been tested and survived falsification are no more scientific than astrology.
