Comments by "DynamicWorlds" (@dynamicworlds1) on "The Black Hole Information Loss Problem is Unsolved. And Unsolvable." video.
If I might disagree and re-muddy those distinctions, philosophy (specifically epistemology) is actually really useful here. The most philosophically honest thing we can say about what happens to things that fall into a black hole is "our models of physics break down at the event horizon so we can, at best, only make educated guesses influenced by our own biases with no means to test them against each other". You can't do good physics without solid grounding in philosophy just as you cannot do good physics without solid grounding in math. Science requires an overlap of evidence, math, and philosophy and right now, we don't even have experimental confirmation that Hawking radiation even exists. We assume it does (and I include myself in that "we") but we must not loose track of when we are making assumptions.

@zubstep the difference is with economics it is exponentially worse and there is FAR more bias involved in influencing things to lean in one way or another to the point where some "disciplines" of economics will flat-out reject evidence that conflicts with its assumptions and models to the point of diving head-first into the realm of unfalsifiable pseudoscience.
