To the extend that this is true, our scientific system should move in a direction where data is written up in a way that allows lay people that aren’t exposed the theory of a field can interact with it.
It’s baby steps, but CERN has an open data portal, where you can download raw data from their LHC experiments for your own analysis. The portal also includes the software used to conduct the analysis, so you don’t have to write your own code to process terabytes of LHC collision data.
I would guess that high energy physics is a field where laypeople might make a lot less process then biology or psychology, so I would be more interested in data sets in those domains.
