But the idea that forensic science is "mostly created by cops who were guided by little more than common sense" seems quite misguided to me.

The sentence doesn't seem misguided so much as it being used as a complaint. Try:

"Biology was mostly created by nature lovers who were guided by little more than common sense."

"Computer science was mostly created by math geeks who were guided by little more than common sense."

"History was mostly created by story tellers who were guided by little more than common sense."
