I hate politics. No matter how much quality research is done, the opposition can keep paying unscrupulous actors to "publish" things that support them. Forget about the public being able to tell the difference. My take is that this will never go away unless we develop entirely different governments. Maybe something based on merit, like only PhDs with 20 years of experience in a field can make these decisions. Per relevant topic of course.
