I think that you are building strawman of what "listening to scientists" in the context of covid is like and then kill that strawman, basically.
Listening to scientists in the context covid will not tell you exactly how long quarantine should be. But it gives you multiple predictions you can start with and then over time see which are more correct and which are less correct.
It does also answer some of quite sure responses to questions that actually ended up disputed. Like: does the Covid have ability to overrun healthcare system? Do asymptomatic spread exists? Is the Covid just a little flu?
