When it comes to economics one can find a plausable theory from a Nobel Prize winner to fit numerous competing platforms.

And social science isn't as solid as that.

I would say there are more equivocal problems than unequivocal and society looks for a leader to make gut feeling decisions. The only discriminator is the success of previous gut feeling decisions or even "it went wrong but it sounded good".
