So she is an arsehole for exposing bullshit? I don't see the problem. I think people take issue with her because of her confrontational persona.

>while she can identify the problem she's not part of the solution

Does she have to be, in principle?

> Her divorce from academia means she has little power to affect change for the better given how the incentives are currently aligned.

Wouldn't be so sure about that. She is getting more public exposure than most academic would in their lifetime. More importantly, exposure to audience _outside_ of academia. Voters. Her effort in creating public awareness has certainly stirred the nest in some academic circles.
