Philosophers did not come up with the Boltzmann brain problem. Most discussion of the problem that I am aware of is in the physics literature. Of course, your diagnosis may still be accurate. Many contemporary theoretical physicists also fall into the trap of concentrating on pure thought and eschewing experimentation.
