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.)

Now imagine that there might be more depth to social sciences as well? Do you think we have it all figured out? Is Economics solved as well?
