Like you said Blake was not a scientist but rather an engineer and inventor. I doubt that any golf scientist considered Blake a scientist and the fact that he never (to my knowledge) published anything in a science journal (which would have meant peer review) puts his work outside of the scientific process.
Like Cochran and Stobbs or Jorgensen, Blake might have provided the physics behind his pressure theory in his books but he did not. However refutation is there (if not directed) in a large body of golf science.
