In an abstract context that all seems dandy.

However when the power is held by people who would potentially face significant financial loss from either theoretical or empirical evidence, it shouldn't be a surprise that such evidence is lacking, no?

Right, so, no way for you to be wrong, ever.

Just your assertions that are always true, in every universe.
