I was thinking of naive scientism on my walk today. That thing where someone says there is 'no evidence' for a proposition, when what they're really saying is that something has never been scientifically studied. As if science literally brings about reality. Like 'there is no evidence that broiler chickens are unhappy'. Naive scientism is pretty common.

Interesting argument. What ideas do you propose as solutions to this problem?
