Our hoaxes provided good evidence of a problem. Our gained expertise in the field provided reason to believe it's a special problem. @HPluckrose
Well, set aside physics. I don't know physics. I know psychology & medicine, & while those fields - in a trivial sense - do not tend to employ *that particular* theoretical approach, they apply many approaches that are as epistemologically worrying or worse when ill-used.

OK. Maybe they do. We are looking at *that particular* theoretical approach tho. We set out what it is very clearly and it does exist in specific fields. It cannot reasonably be claimed that "there is a problem especially affecting the humanities" as a claim its the only problem.
-
If someone started "There is a problem in the universities and it is particularly affecting the sciences" we wouldn't assume that it was a claim there is no problem anywhere else or that it was worst. We'd just know this paper is looking at a particular problem in the sciences.

It is OK for people to look at particular problems in their own fields and say they are particular problems in their own fields without being assumed to have made any claims apart from that. "There is a particular problem in our field. We looked at it. Here you are."
