IMO the headline is misleading. He didn't say "science" becomes "dangerously narrow", he said a "scientific outlook" becomes "dangerously narrow".

He's talking about a personal worldview. It's a broader perspective that better informs a person.

Science is always pushing the envelope of what is possible, without the guidance of what is moral or ethical it is likely to go astray.

Vivisection on living subjects is one example, but the Germans and Japanese already did that.

In other words, scientism becomes dangerously narrow. It is a competing religion.
