  isn't that politically risky as in uncertain times folks watch out for leaders? Why not just having sit-downs with all opposing thought-leaders? It would have taken the prime minister one phone call to get 3 experts from each domain presenting their case. Every day.

  Might be a hard transition to make. Politicians have always been incentivized to appear 'decisive' to the public even in the face of uncertainty.

  But, as @nntaleb remarks "By cramming your work full of scientific references you can make another intellectual believe that one’s material has the stamp of science." Science is a process, not a result.
