What is the profession that rides the line between pseudo quakery and science?

hard mode: no economics or psychology

I work in the LED lighting industry. There's a lot of "this combination of frequencies at this time of day helps people feel a certain way" . It's all based on cherry picking poorly controlled unreproduced psychology studies. The trade shows feel almost like astrology conventions sometimes.

It's like the monkeys writing shakespeare. Train enough uberautists in mathematics and if you wait long enough one of them will accidentally come up with sime complex equations that fit the real world in a novel way. But you have a lot of gibberish that has to be thrown out and you have a lot of gibberish that the autists will worship because they dont understand the difference between mathematics and reality.

That statue isn't sexy to regular furfags who like anthro stuff, feralfags who like anatomically correct stuff, or scalefags who like that general shape but with horns, scales, claws and usually wings.
It's like a bizarre mishmash of conflicting styles plus a big dollop of uncanny valley. The guy who made it is probably just a contrarian weirdo.

Oh god forbid artists make something that challenges your world view.
>they need something 'new' flocking to something like that statue.
Not a chance. It's difficult to explain to you because I know you have no bearings in this area, but just know that nobody is flocking to that abomination.

On one hand, you have brainlets who think they can assume everything follows a normal distrib or that 4 is an acceptable sample size to draw any worthwhile conclusions from. Or scientific frauds who will repeat a hypothesis test as many times as they need to get the p value they want all for the sake of publishing a paper. On the other hand, you have quants and finance math people who have figured out how to make millions a year from virtually nothing other than empirical data (Black-Scholes is one of the most beautiful pieces of applied math IMO). Very strange dichotomy.

Honestly pretty much every field has a large faction of just total quackery. Ecology and Environmental engineering have some very capable individuals and then they also have people who will swear that we're all going to die because of a Matlab extrapolation model they can't explain. Control systems engineering has people who are beyond brilliant and can design some incredibly elegant systems of adaptive feedback control, and then a shit ton of people who just throw the words "Machine learning" and "Neural Network" at everything and expect that people's eyes will glaze over before their incompetence becomes apparent.
