If you only make decisions based on science you can pretend problems aren't real without a scientist's approval, and you can pretend solutions to those problems are bad if there is even a tiny bit of counter-evidence that supports your viewpoint.
And if you make decisions based on anything other than science, is the final outcome going to be any better?
I admit that something that we might call "misuse of science" is a real thing, and a problem. But I don't see any solution that in any way involves de-emphasizing the importance of science in decision making.
