But I think part of the question here is precisely regarding the definition of those standards; if they are so all over the place that it's virtually impossible to even define what a "good" and a "bad" paper is, then isn't your field in trouble? The 2nd point I am sympathetic to.
I don't think one can conclude from a few editors being fooled by deliberate frauds that these fields have truly no sense of what makes a good paper — this is an epistemological and sociological claim that well exceeds the evidence.
Do you feel the same way about the original Sokal hoax?
....What's the number or percentage of papers that needs to sneak through before we can ask if their is legitimacy to the concerns.
If the goal is to show that deliberate fraud can get through peer review... I mean, the answer is "duh." (As it has, in the past, with other fields, even more "rigorous" ones.) The question is: what's the point? Who cares?
And I mean this seriously: what do you care if some other small field does things differently? Especially ones that appear to have literally zero influence over anything in the rest of the academy or society?
I don't think that's true at all. You seriously underestimate the reach. Questionable ideas from these fields are filtering throughout society and being treated by laymen/politicians/and HR departments as fact.
I would need to see proof of this before I believed this. I don't think the academic sub-fields they've targeted actually have much influence on how identity politics is developed and deployed, anymore than I think postmodernism is responsible for politicians denying facts.
I wish I could have brought you in as a guest at our last company meeting.
If you think your company's HR policies were created by the writings of humanistic academics, I assure you that you greatly overestimate your company's HR staff.
In any case, the true, long-term "value" of a paper is decided by the served communities and not the editors. Some editors try to act as strict gatekeepers, others do not. There are pros and cons to each approach. Again, in all fields.
