Cargo cult science is Bidirectional not unidirectional true or false?

Its been understood as unidirectional or the relationship between pre literate and literate cultures. I am saying it also plays out in the inverse as well.

Cargo cult science is a phrase describing practices that have the semblance of being scientific, but do not in fact follow the scientific method.[1] The term was first used by physicist Richard Feynman during his 1974 commencement address at the California Institute of Technology.[1]

Cargo cults are religious practices that have appeared in many traditional tribal societies in the wake of interaction with technologically advanced cultures. They focus on obtaining the material wealth (the "cargo") of the advanced culture by imitating the actions they believe cause the appearance of cargo: by building landing strips, mock aircraft, mock radios, and the like.[2] Similarly, although cargo cult sciences employ the trappings of the scientific method, like an airplane with no motor, they fail to deliver anything of value.[

I'm not getting this.. Do any of these cults have names?
Its a term used by richard feynman so its not a social organization literally but an observation between literate and pre literate cultures.

What Is A Preliterate Culture? - Blurtit

In preliterate cultures, lore is passed on by oral traditions. Children memorize long treatises of history or folklore, and shamans are the ultimate arbiters of spoken elements which bind a society together.The languages of many preliterate cultures have been transliterated, often inaccurately.
