Yes, trial and error is part of the process. However, there are means and methods for identifying a starting point. Sit bone width, riding style, and position on the bike all play into the initial assessment of determining a range of saddles for the rider to try.
What is this "fake science" of which you speak?
Your comment about sit bones is vague and confusing. By definition, if your sit bones are not supported by the contact points on the saddle there will be more pressure on the soft tissue.
