This has been going on forever in the ivory tower of publishing in legal journals.
Every lawyer can point to a stack of ridiculous articles in their specialty, by...uh, academic tourists, that are so bad they aren't even wrong. But there is rarely any formal pushback at all.

The publish or perish ethos is so real, I can't blame them for playing the game. The legal academy just neuters itself this way. It's a lazy standard.
The op-eds are stepping stones to political power.
The function is different and the response, as @questauthority.bsky.social suggests, should be different.
