Science gave us the guillotine, I choose to hold out hope. Pinpointing and publishing where all the wealth's being concentrated would be an excellent Science Task

Science didn't give us the guillotine, no matter which scientific method or forbear you're using to determine scientific nature. At best, engineering gave us the guillotine, but I rather doubt there was any actual engineering design going on when they first made the Halifax Gibbet, except insofar as "I need a simpler and more consistent way to lazily kill petty criminals" was "defining a need".
