it doesn't seem to occur to the authors that part of the blame might also be with how some of the science might not adhere to the proper scientific method anymore.
I think you’re so spot on. It would be interesting to hear if @jimmysong has anything to add to this.

I wrote a whole chapter about this in Fiat Ruins Everything about how Fiat Money has ruined Science. For example, the entire "science" of climate is driven by political considerations through grants, which, of course, is driven by fiat money. What's surprising is how slow scientific progress has been because of how politicized it's become.
It turns out that truth does not give itself up very easily, and anything less than a complete and dogged pursuit of it will fail.
