Pretty much every industry functions on a foundation of basic scientific knowledge discovered in academic labs, run by honest people trying to understand the natural world.

Fraud happens. Bad theories happen. The slow turn of scientific wheels takes centuries to crush them but it will always win. Profit doesn't turn those wheels. Our entire modern lifestyle is the impact.

Is it possible that society is the thing with turning wheels and knowledge is the thing getting crushed underneath it?

That how it was, and it can easily go back to that.
