I wish this comment was more representative of my personal experience in science.

Instead I got PIs happy to say that weak evidence "proved" their theory and to try suppress evidence that negatively impacted "fundablity". The most successful scientists I worked with were the ones who always talked like a PR puff piece.

What field, may I ask?

Applied physics. I'd prefer not to get too specific. Most of my peers are working for the US DoD or DoE now.
