The expression for the scientific method's sake is science academia aesthetic equivalent for the prosaic bland religious expression "for god's sake "meaning "An oath of exasperation, annoyance, frustration, anger, or surprise." "For the scientific method's sake" is an interjection like "For god's sake" with the literal nonreligious definition of Expressing anger, surprise, assertion etc."". This is a satirical expression that generally makes fun of scientism, but occasionally is used to make fun of the superfluity of religious expressions our society uses dude.
For the scientific method's sake! Why haven't you considered these obvi obvi conspicuous confounding variables! Of course it isn't the presence of churches that's increasing the crime rate. Tis prolly the higher population density that's causing the increased crime rates.

The term is generally used by financial, technical professionals and project managers to describe a solid assumption of a numeric target. It is far more than a guess or even a good guess. One is attempting to accurately estimate a number associated with for example a budget or time requirement using the available limited data or in the worse case no data.
If the individual offering the SWAG projection is well recognized and qualified in his area of expertise and he is offering it within that expertise, the likelihood that the SWAG will be taken seriously is high, especially if he has a proven track record.
Someone when challenged on where he came up with his numbers says "well its a SWAG" and he lacks the credentials to support it, is not likely to be taken seriously. In other word, some people use SWAG as a casual term instead of saying I guess.

When challenged to project the budget for a project whose concept is new to the organization, a scientific-wild-ass guess (SWAG) may be the only means of generating a realistic set of numbers. Consult experts in the various areas that may be involved. Example: A new product that has a market pull but has no material, manufacturing processes or facilities but needs to be brought on line within a set period of time, will by necessity require some SWAG. Having a SWAG number helps to provide guidance even if it is not totally accurate. It is far better than having an open checkbook.

Lyrics of Scientifically Accurate Sonic The Hedgehog:
Science defines Sonic the Hedgehog
Runs six feet per second, but is nearly blind
Sonic the Hedgehog
Hedgehogs get cancer and rabies
Hedgehogs eat their own babies
Hedgehogs defecate while they run fa-ee-ast!
When hedgehogs find poop, they put it in their mouths
Mix it with saliva till lips a-foam
Then rub it on themselves
Science doesn't know why they do this
Why would a hedgehog do this?
They eat shit and then rub it on their ba-ee-acks!
Sonic's got a lot of pals
Cats, bats, rabbits, frogs
His best friend is Tails the Fox
But foxes eat hedgehogs
Knuckles is an echidna
They can't fly, don't have a punching claw
But they're known for having a four-headed dick
It's the only one like it
Scientifically accurate!

Just too complicated for any human to understand outside of Dave Thomas (founder of Wendys), Charlie Sheen (Warlock), and Stephen Hawking (He's fucking british, what need be said)
Jeff-"These fucking Frostys here at wendys are bomb!"
Osiris-"Oh I know man, Its these Neuro-scientific-frosty-logistics. I only wish i could understand."
Stephen Hawking-"You'll die before you understand Neuro-scientific-frosty-logistics"
Charlie Sheen-"Dying is for fools"

Called FSI, probably one of the most annoying forms of science ever devised. It involves theories, memorization of the periodic table, and lots of algebra that require four steps to solve. Many of these have frustrating formulas in order to determine specific heat, Boor's Law, mole to atom conversions, orbital notation, balancing from the activity series, and many others that can make your life miserable. Usually, the bookwork involves a large amount of problems that take hours to complete. The tests are also your worst enemy, and those who study for seven freaking hours usually get a 50 on every single test.
Scenario 1:
Miss Sakuraba: For homework tonight, please complete problems 1-9, doing every single problem!
Susumu: Are you freaking high on marijuana!? There can possibly be no way I can do every single one of them!
Scenario 2:
God dang it I failed Miss Sakuraba's Foundations of Scientific Inquiry class and now I have to take it again!
