It is very possible to focus on a single problem which you know about and/or which affects you without asserting that there are no other problems in the world. In academia people do specialise & it is not at all suspicious if they address problems in one field and not every field

My own way is to instantiate critique by doing the scholarship in what you consider the right way and win over converts to your paradigm and way of approaching things. Ultimately, academic influence is about persuasion.

Don't you think we tried that!? I was told I was problematic and would have failed if I didn't produce what was wanted. One of us is forbidden from raising the issue in academia at all. We couldn't get published. We have still addressed it directly outside the academy.

Like I said, and like Kuhn observed, paradigms are more often than not hardened, intractable, and maintained by stubborn gatekeepers. (What's new?) But the academy is large enough now that you can be rejected by one quadrant and accepted by another.

A hoax tends to turn off people because of all the unintended consequences it causes, in addition to the adolescent prank aspect of it. But that's just my opinion.
