Wharf Rat's situation can be described as a form of "scientific dogmatism" or "scientific fideism." In this context, he holds a belief in science similar to how some might hold religious beliefs, but without a deep understanding of the science he subscribes to. This is akin to having blind faith in science—trusting its authority and findings without necessarily engaging with the underlying principles or details.

While this term isn't universally recognized in academic discourse, it captures the essence of relying on science as an unquestioned authority. This is distinct from a genuine scientific attitude, which values skepticism, inquiry, and understanding.
