I'm not well-versed in social science either so I don't have a slam dunk here, but I'd be very willing to bet it's more involved than you're portraying.

To flip it on your space telescope, another one? They've been doing this for years, they're just going to tell us there's a lot of galaxies out there, boring.

You’re not “flipping”, you’re just making a silly reduction.

There’s tons of things we don’t know about black holes. We don’t need another study to tell us that poor people are sicker due to past racism.

(One can certainly argue that it’s not worth the money to know more stuff about black holes. I am agnostic, but at least I see the difference in kind between the quality of the questions.)
