Are there any recent attempts (books) at debunking our excessive trust of data and over glorification of statistics as having intrinsic meaning? As a physics grad I find it pretty frustrating that no one in my field actually tries to go beyond their self fulfilling prophecies of models ("you see this graph? it clearly shows WHY x happens, because it shows HOW x moves in relation to y!"). Popper tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it didn't even matter.
