This funny video shows how easy it is for scientists to hide behind concepts that have only names and no real practical value.

We see it being used in theoretical physics a lot, and in astronomy. But also in psychology, medicine and such. In these areas, there can be a lack of practical and clear tests. This causes more value to move to theoretical concepts and their names.
