science only exists in the abstract. there is no such thing in practice. like the carnot cycle, there is no such thing in the physical realm beyond a thought. groups of humans, maybe all conscious agents, are unable to be truly scientific. the actual outline is never really followed. rather it is reported as such which is a post-rationalization following the forms of the process but which is really more akin to p-hacking and selective reporting of results that confirmation biases. society has narratives that for one reason or another are collectively upheld which have nothing to do with facts or truth. science is tasked with finding out the slivers of truth that support these narratives while filtering out all inconveniences. studies that run against these narratives are simply not published nor funded or have conclusions obfuscated with excuses while studies that support these narratives are uncritically accepted as fact. therefore all science in practice is pseudoscience.
