More specifically pseudo science not guided by empiricism. The line between science and pseudo science is very thin. Scientific theories are often incorrect, especially in life science, but we refine upon them based in empirical and observed data.

You are right, but when results are falsified because of political expedience, that refining process will be subverted or discarded altogether.
