If they pursue YEC in science, they are not scientists, they are politicians. In other words, they start out with an agenda that they feel must be proven regardless of the validity of their claims.
They are in the exact same boat as flat Earthers.
So, they will start off with the POV that carbon dating, rock dating, all dating techniques are AUTOMATICALLY bad and that is their starting point.
They won't then go, well since we have found dating techniques bad, we need to study dating techniques that give the correct dates. They don't do that, they simply put down the entire science of age dating.
They would be the last people in the world to actually invent a new technique to date rocks or fossils, since they don't want ANY data that says the Earth is more than a few thousand years old.
In other words, they are blinded by their own religious propaganda.
