Politicized science inevitably tends toward pseudoscience
Researchers shouldn't just make stuff up.
That is because politics is all about certainty and the appearance of knowing everything.
When a politician changes their mind on something they are seen as weak. "If they change their mind of this, how can we trust anything they say?"
Science is all about what the evidence tells us. If new data shows that our previous notions were incorrect, we must change our minds.
