Software engineering and venture capital aren't, and aren't claiming to be, sciences. And Pauling lived a remarkably long life for someone who was hanging around in chemistry labs in the 1920s. Someone with that background dying at 93 is like a regular person dying at 113. So I would be careful to dismiss his ideas regarding health outright, even though most studies have been unable to confirm his claims. There is still plenty of serious research happening into Vitamin C megadoses, so clearly, not all scientists agree with the idea that this is quackery. And even if it indeed were completely and utterly wrong, it is still not even remotely comparable to the sheer audacity of Lacan's bullshit.
