The paper publishing industry has a tragedy of the commons problem. Individual authors benefit from fake or misrepresented research. Over time more and more people roll their eyes when they hear “a study found…” Over a long period it depreciates science and elevates superstition.

For example, look at how people interact with LLMs. Lots of superstition (take a deep breath) not much reading about the underlying architecture.
