I don’t have 480 minutes to commit to the task. Here is a list after only a handful of minutes:
Some possible flaws of Eld science:
An emphasis on publishing works for personal credit in peer reviewed journals, thereby encouraging one to protect one’s research from others working in the same field who might be nearing similar conclusions.
Rewarding success with long term, permanent positions of rank within the establishment that cannot be lost due to a failure to continue to produce insights.
Lethargy in the reframing of materials intended for the education of new researchers. (Specifically, reframing them with new, established insights within a particular field.)
An emphasis on social unity that discourages individuals from defending positions that seem to be too far out of acceptable norms.
Almost no tracking of mistakes, failures, or even negative results for that matter.
We know it’s bad, yet we keep sweeping valuable knowledge under the rug just because it’s embarrassing. Confirmation bias anyone ?
No clear valuation of the work’s utility.
One consequence is that researchers are kind of expected to know what they will find before they even begin, a form of weak insurance on productivity. This discourages to venture in the unknown.
Yes, Patrick. I believe that is the intent.

I’ll think about more during dinner.
