And yet I did not state this, and it seems you're rounding my position to an easier one to dismiss.

I don't reject non-scientific scholarship. But I see the focus in some disciplines a little like twinkies and soda: a bit of them can be fine and maybe even be good in some circumstances (brings joy; maybe as a recovery item for some diabetic conditions). But my feeling is that some of these disciplines have indexed a bit too much on twinkie and soda.

Ah, I think I misread the intent of what you wrote—apologies!
Not entirely I bet!

I think of science in much the same way that you think of other disciplines.
