>>12283225>by people that couldn't solve anything more than the problemsIt goes far beyond that. Modern academics is a profession just like anything else. You can be easily replaced, work for someone else and have to follow certain guidelines.
There are certain "expected" results involved in any project and not delivering those results can and will jeopardize your career. Researchers often drop a project and don't even bother to publish the papers if they don't get the results their institution wants.
Because academics is an highly competitive place, it is easy to force people into following your line of thinking. Therefore, we see the rise of institutions that develop a priori dogmas. Your research then has to conform to these expectation, resulting in the huge amount of pseudo-scientific and pseudo-philosophic garbage we see today.
Also the desire to publish as many papers as possible in corrupt journals keeps lowering the quality even further.
These dogmas persist until the responsible executive staff/administration is replaced.
