I think the error is expecting science to answer questions on tradeoffs that are a matter of the soul. I've written something about it here:

I think we have to push science out of our lives, because it has brought us untold ruin. Research is not going to solve anything because 'studies' and co. have lost their value completely, operating in an extremely noisy environment. We should overcome the idea that whether we do something or not is contingent on whether a study shows an effect or not.

This, of course, is a departure of the positivist, rationalist spirit of the last several decades :-)

And yes, I'm happy about content that arguies from first principles of civil rights and rejects the authority of the #Science to rule our lives.

P.S: I, too, am a man of science.
