I strongly disagree. Many make a very good living as trained (or possibly untrained) monkeys, conducting experiments.
Also a great scam: If the experiment works, you get a paper! If the experiment doesn't work, you get a paper!
An inability to fail is possibly the greatest scam of all.

You mischaracterize my post. Or are you trying to assert that unless everyone everywhere working in the sciences uses math then no one does?

I don't know what you mean by this "get a paper" thing. I get mine delivered in the morning; no experiments required.

True. How about this one: you pay me money, I tell you how to live your life down to the minutest detail. If you do everything I say, never contradict me, and keep paying me, you get a swell prize after you're dead.
