Securing continued funding for their projects is the main and sometimes only concern of scientists. At least that is what I conclude from many years of working with them. Data is not the plural of anecdote. In addition I find it insulting that you would attempt to negatively characterize an entire field which you have no knowledge of. In fact, this comment is so unbelievable that I would like to know where and who you worked with.
