To me, that answer is the worst. The absolute worst. If you ask any rav a sh’ailah, they’ll tell you “according to my research…” “According to Dr. …. the way it works is….” They will NOT pasken absolutely on something they don’t know. They’ll make sure to say “If, indeed, that’s how the fuse works, then on Shabbos…”
And Chazal who came to be koveia halachos for dorei doros–who filled the capacity of the Lishkas Hagaziz (R’ Elchanan)–would have be severly irresponsible if they didn’t make sure to condition their p’sak on the veracity of whichever scientist they were basing it on.
