I couldn't agree more.
   I have a lot of very pro-science friends. [scientism is the
   movement they're a part of and most can't see it] and they
   believe the courts, politics, pretty much EVERYTHING should be
   replaced by the Magic of Science.

   The thing is... it's not that Science is bad; it's not. Science
   is great! Even corporate science [for they have the funding to
   actually make some fascinating discoveries].

   However, when it comes to bringing those results to INDUSTRY and
   engineering solutions... _somebody_ has to be watching.

   I'd never want Science to have leadership. There's no need for
   ethics in Science itself, but there _is_ a need for ethics in
   Engineering, Industry and technology because THOSE fields engage
   with society.
