I agree.  However, there is more to a successful effort than science.
Indeed, science is only present in a very small number of human efforts.

To boot, science is largely quiet on the _inspiration_ for the
hypotheses it vets, the claims it rejects, and the claims that survive
criticism (testing).  These hypotheses must come from somewhere.  And
they are usually not very specific or particular at first.
