For the Scientific Method's sake

The expression for the scientific method's sake is science academia aesthetic equivalent for the prosaic bland religious expression "for god's sake "meaning "An oath of exasperation, annoyance, frustration, anger, or surprise." "For the scientific method's sake" is an interjection like "For god's sake" with the literal nonreligious definition of Expressing anger, surprise, assertion etc."". This is a satirical expression that generally makes fun of scientism, but occasionally is used to make fun of the superfluity of religious expressions our society uses dude.

For the scientific method's sake! Why haven't you considered these obvi obvi conspicuous confounding variables! Of course it isn't the presence of churches that's increasing the crime rate. Tis prolly the higher population density that's causing the increased crime rates.
