And economics isn't a science?
Now, is it testable? Only in a very limited sense. You can suss out trends in a decently empirical way, but because you're working with independent agents you can't really get sufficient data to obtain rigorous results.
Economics is not unlike high energy physics in these respects. You can move the needle in legitimate ways, but there are very hard restrictions that make it more difficult to make rigorous observations.
Bad deontology on the part of an individual doesn't discredit the field as a whole.
