Hard agree on this. Scientific studies and quant models are much weaker evidence than people realize. My default stance when evaluating a study is that it merely proves "a group of experts thought this was worth publishing". I can update my credence from there if warranted.
The pendulum is definitely swinging back to more historical, structural, ethnographic methods.
