Alternatively: Be pressured to churn out papers by the university's MBA-crazed leadership, make weakly-supported assertions in order to make a paper exciting enough to be published. Your peers in academia and industry call you out on social media when they become aware of your dubious claims.
...obviously, that's an extreme situation. It's true, usually the people working with a given subject on a daily basis will have a better grasp than random, disreputable voices on the internet. Being critical of sources and reasoning is important.
Doesn't even take direct pressure from others. Getting published is one of the best ways to gain access to funds/resources, and just as with every other profession many will succumb to the temptation to take shortcuts or fudge the truth in the pursuit of money and/or prestige. I knew one woman who gave up on pursuing a career in cultural anthropology because she had come to believe that getting published was more of an exercise in creative writing than in actual science.
It's actually much more common than people think. Oh your numbers don't match what the rest of every else's says? Fudge the numbers a tiny bit nobody will notice. That way when you have to defend your work it's a little easier because it's in like with other work.
