I said I'm suspicious of people worried about it, not that I'm a supporter of scientism.

A lot of people who seem to worry about scientism turn out to have some quackery that they insist is worth looking into because "Its not been disproven". Or have some kind of spiritual belief that they want to mentally run cover for via "science might be wrong".

That's a fair thing to be concerned about - any blind faith is a problem. We should always be ready to, if not slaughter our sacred cows, at least take them to the vet once in a while (apologies for the tortured metaphor).
