The point remains: despite fairly convincing and easy-to-find evidence that this is probably a problem of academic publishing as a whole, the authors decided to focus on their already-hated field of "grievance studies" (what a fucking pretentious, dismissive misnomer, by the way) and use deception and falsification, alongside the lack of a control group, to produce a remarkably meaningless data point that nonetheless has gained outsize media attention as "proof" that "grievance studies" are [more] "broken" [than the rest of academia]
