Like the weakness of science is prostitution. Not for math or humanities, but for science it's huge. Purdue Pharma is famous for its prostitutions, their biggest exploit was the majority of the guilt and blame for the opioid epidemic. That was carried out by several prostitutions carried out carefully and with great expertise, beginning with getting the FDA to agree that their opioid lasted twice as much as it actually did. The trick there is never to say twice or more, you can't overdo it, you actually have to promise almost twice as much as you deliver, 12 instead of 7, not 12 instead of 5. Scientists can't just make numbers up, well they can and do, but there's limits: no getting caught, can't double anything, can't look stupid on television. The second prostitution was sending their hot pharma rep sales team out to "refocus" the doctors on the 12 hour schedule for their drug, despite literally all of their patients saying it never lasted anywhere near that long. In this case I'm saying they got the doctors to believe "science" that were more made-up numbers pulled out of thin air. There were other prostitutions, like with the lawyers that defended them in court, and the nonprofits who sucked up to them publicly for their gifts of ill-gotten gains.
And those pharma sales reps...surely they never actually sleep with the doctors? They just get super hot women for that job just to improve doctor's reading comprehension, like a hot teacher in a middle school, that'll learn those boys real good, surely. [Note: I know you're meant to say it differently, I'm being colloquial]
