It is bad science because there’s no reason to be doing the science at all

This just rounds itself back to capitalism being the problem because the science was being done for a reason: to generate profit for Hammond.

Bad science is usually always conducted to suit the ends of someone trying to use the results for manipulative/exploitative purposes.

That’s just a dumb way to act like those scientists don’t have a will of their own. Those scientists have ethics (or a lack thereof). They have their own will. They are not forced to work on the project that has no scientific outcome. They’re either working on it because they’re bad scientists, because they’re evil, or because they think it’s cool. All of which is bad science. It’s not capitalism’s fault. It’s unethical scientists.
