I think the number one reason of science bullshit (and it&#x27;s written in the article) is not conflict of interests in the sense of &quot;money from evil big corps&quot; but rather the &quot;publish or die&quot; system in the academic world.<p>Or you could say the scientist interest is to keep his job, which requires a certain volume of publications, and that conflict with publishing only results that are both sincere and worthwhile.
