While it may be true that "...Science has many assumptions and blind spots and beliefs embedded in it, many of which practitioners may be unaware of..", other scientists delight in spotting these assumptions and blind spots and thoroughly exposing them. Science is hugely self-correcting in this regard. Publish a study with poor assumptions or unconsidered factors ("blind spots"?), and someone is certain to take you to task without remorse (and often without tact). Scientists are properly heartless at these times.
