Richard Feynman, as problematic as he may have been, did recognise that and put it pretty succinctly. Science only ever tells you how to do something, not why.

To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell. And so it is with science.

I figure working on the atomic bomb in Los Alamos had something to do with that mindset.
