Alvin Weinberg published his "Science and Trans-Science" article on roughly this topic in 1972 [1]. He said: "Many of the issues that lie at the interface between science and politics involve questions that can be stated in scientific terms but that are in principle beyond the proficiency of science to answer." "The protagonists often ask for the impossible: scientific answers to questions that are trans-scientific" Pretty good stuff.
