you know political science exist right?
Political Science does mean electing a Physicist as President.
Scientists have lofty goals and are often willing to do anything to see their visions come true. They tend to have a hard time weighing all the different factors that go into making tough political decisions.
Perhaps one of the most striking examples of this is Werner Von Braun. He was one of the greatest scientists of his time and was integral in engineering the moon landing (if you believe in it). But he saw no problem with exploiting concentration camp labor when he was part of the Nazi regime.
