While they don't refute it, enough of those do prevent better science from happening though, especially when it's needed.

What you seem to be forgetting is that somebody would have to pay for that science ... in that sense, "control over finance" does , in reality, refute science.

Counterexamples also refute, without necessarily being science.

Counter examples only refute when they are publicised. When they are ignored because the status quo is preferred they achieve little

See for example low carb nutrition

Foucalt would probably be opinionated on this.

Absolutely!! Unless of course we are talking about "burdening" certain women (or certain men) with the inconvenience of giving birth to another person.

In this case, science has absolutely no place in the conversation!! I don't care when life starts!! No scientist should be allowed to weigh in on whether or not abortion is murder!!!!!

Following this logic, someone who kills a pregnant mother shouldn't be held liable for the murder of 2 people! And fathers who do not want to be fathers but are being forced into the situation should not be held liable for caring for a bundle of cells that they didn't want!
