Fascinating theory. Likely much truth to it.
I feel like academic research is similar. Politicians, activists, and industry groups demand credible research papers that support their position. When one is published, they run with it--whether or not they even understand the underlying research, and whether or not the evidence is solid. Oftentimes, they end up butchering the argument or take the implications far beyond what the researcher would say is justified.
