Sort of. Some political scientists are certainly more likely to estimate the impact of their policy suggestions than physicsts, mostly because physicists rarely make policy suggestions. But I don't think they try to survey all political science questions and systematically compare them along some measure of impact. I expect the hypothetically disagreement between Dafoe and a random political scientist is based on a disagreement outside the expertise (the importance and long-term impact of AI in general). Likewise, physicists wouldn't tell you much about the impact of their work because it hinges on things (e.g., econ) outside their expertise.
