No, you're misunderstanding what the term 'integrity' means.
The notion goes far beyond narrow views of 'scientific reasoning'.
Integrity, far from 'unscalable', is an essential factor in the functioning of civil society and probably the #1 predictor of a successful ongoing civilization.
The difference between a rich and poor country is sometimes 'natural resources' but more often than not highly organized social order based around institutions and systems with integrity. In everything from 'Sushi Chef' to 'Parenting' to 'Early Childhood Education' to 'DMV' to 'Drug Regulation' and 'Accounting Principles'.

But on the internet, it doesn't work, that's where I was going with "unscalable", I'm not claiming that you have to ditch "integrity" for something else, most of the large scale human endeavors can't just rely on integrity (on that large scale).
