Correct - but not for the reasons you think.

Proof is the domain of mathematics, not science. Furthermore, the standard of proof "beyond a shadow of a doubt" isn't even one that is required in the legal realm either. That is to assume that any scientific study would directly deal with the question of whether taxpayers should pay for something - which would be an unlikely scenario.
