John Kay wrote a good book about this (Radical Uncertainty). There is a trend to falsely quantify questions that take place either under conditions of uncertainty or where numbers are just axiomatic assumptions rather than based on regular observations. It's very much everywhere now, not just in abstract philosophy like this but even in a lot of real world scenarios like the pandemic. Instead of giving a qualitative narrative and leaving space for human intuition people try to present arguments as more certain than they are by slapping some numbers / models onto them.
