When the fundamental base is a pseudo-fact, it’s hard to prove the falseness of its principles and progressed state, even in the context of Science, Economy, Beliefs and Culture. When we build something or do some research, the correctness of it depends upon its preceding research which in turn depends on its preceding. But when the gap between current advanced research and the fundamental is large (in terms of time, research quantity, and complexity), we often use preceding research to testify the correctness of current research than the farthest preceding research(a.k.a fundamental research) and So, When Economic policies are built on pseudo-Economic principles and ethics, morals & the cultural ideologies are built on pseudo fundamental beliefs then they can never (be proven to) be false.

In the past, there are some people who proposed pseudo-science as an area of science. Later Some of them built theories, even proved with practical implementations and real-time applications upon them considering them as a fundamental. Now we use them without caring for the ground truth behind them. Because as technology and science progress we do progress with a change in base fundamentals.

In the past old days, knowing the fundamental base of a computer is to find how encoding and decoding the process of Assembly language is with the system. Now it is about encoding and decoding the process of interaction of system scripts with the kernel. Later the fundamentals are just knowing about how the top Application layer interact with its preceding layer without letting us to focus on knowing the system engineering behind it.
