As a general rule, you should get more skeptical around any information that people feel strongly about - including information that comes from academia. The more politically sensitive something is, the less you should easily trust anything around it.

I used to think institutions had their shit together, but after meeting lots of people in academia and seeing it fail (e.g., replication crisis?), it lost its holiness. Tbf I don't trust most sources outside of academia equally. Academia just has a veneer of respectability.
