      ... may be evidence of asymmetry in something like 'average' epistemological rigor. But there seems a relatively narrow ideological motivation to the authors' hoax in picking out critical studies for condemnation (without charitably engaging w/ what is good in its approaches)

      ... all of that said, I reiterate, I *do* see a lot of sloppy theorizing that is highly ideologically motivated and not interested in generating falsifiable theories in the types of journals the hoax authors thought to target, and I *do* agree that the cause of social justice ...

      ... your bubble where you just talk to other social justice researchers: if the goal is to help the marginalized and oppressed etc., they will NOT be helped in the long run by dogmas protected by blasphemy laws saying you can't critique them. But I think the hoax authors, too,

      ... could do a better job of approaching those fields/journals in a more charitable way trying to see what is right/good/valuable/productive about them, in the spirit of improving them AND learning from them, rather than the "burn it down" kind of "gotcha" approach they took ...

      ... Such bomb-throwing tactics to critiquing other fields may, in the long run, turn out to work/be valuable in causing improvement in the general level of rigor/quality (like those 'methodological terrorists' in psychology!); but might also create animus & further divisions ...

      ... charitable/productive engagement happening all around; even when we really disagree w/ someone, there is often something valuable/right in their approach we can learn from (as Michael Hauskeller & I argue here https://ore.exeter.ac.uk/repository/bitstream/handle/10871/18491/Binocularity%20in%20Bioethics.pdf?sequence=1 … reviewing Erik Parens on "binocularity").

      I think the core clue is in the odd mismatch when it comes to intent and scope. The piece argues it isn't targeted against a whole field, but then, authors RT headlines that it 'exposes the insanity of social sciences'. That reeks of bad faith and misdirection, to me.pic.twitter.com/d41nmBO0wi

      Yeah, those "insanity etc." headlines and such ramped up rhetoric veers into bad faith territory from my perspective too

          But that's a really, really important question right? If they're setting out to 'throw a bomb', as you say, what compels them to include statements that their intent is pure? If it's the inverse, why tolerate and re-share mis-characterisations of their intent?
