quantocracy 

A system of government based that writes, enacts and expires laws based on a solid foundation of scientific evidence. Each law created has 6 immutable elements: the law itself, the intention behind the law, the estimated costs of enforcing the law, the studies supporting invocation the law, the risks and crucially, an expiry date. At expiration, each law is reviewed for its efficacy, its cost of enforcement to date, how its implementation stands up to the original intention and the validity of the original studies.
Out of the ashes of the previous systems of government the Quantocracy was born

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
