This is arguing semantics in the way that is being described as a humanities behavior in order to justify how science doesn't have the same or similar discussio

  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "humanities bad science good rah rah rah," this very conversation is a humanities conversation, and I clearly like the humanities enough to participate in it. All I am saying is that the phenomenon of "ideological camps," where virtually everything said by one camp is incomprehensible to or considered loony by every other camp, exists in the humanities but not in science. String theory and loop quantum gravity are different theories, but they are not ideological camps, because the methods and conclusions of the researchers of one are all totally acceptable to researchers of the other. Likewise, believers in every proposed Alzheimers mechanism will agree with each other on the existence of proteins, prions, DNA, and metabolism.
