>Most of science is just a scam
Most of the scientists are not scammers. So if you believe that all science disciplines other than engineering are wrong[1], you should use another word that doesn't suggest researcher malice.
[1]Which is a very strong statement, because you claim to be an expert in all science disciplines at once.

- tourmalinetaco 2y agoAt minimum the social and even a fair bit of medical science are scams, as they rarely have enough evidence to definitively draw claims due to a mixture of flawed methodology, small sample sizes, and lack of additional studies to reinforce their claims. See for instance the claim every man makes at some point, that “going braless makes breasts perkier”. Small sample size that isn’t indicative of all breast sizes/shapes, few if any studies supporting their findings. At least with engineering experimentation is far easier, can be extrapolated, and can even be simulated reliably. And no, one does not claim to be “an expert in all disciplines at once” by pointing out the objective fact that we lack concrete data in a lot of fields.
