So sure yeah, there's no limit to what you can do when you eliminate and don't care about x. Louis C.K. had a good one: "Wow, I can't believe we built the pyramids - yeah, we just threw human death and suffering at them until they were built. There's no end to what we can achieve when we don't give a sh•t how to get there..." Science that advances by eliminativism comes with a price and some side-effects.
Just because there's a price doesn't mean you shouldn't pay it. We eliminated the Egyptian gods, the divine Pharoh and their theology, so we don't get pyramids anymore - and I'd call it progress.
