Sometimes it is bullshit.

Like callouscomic said, sometimes academics are incentivised to churn out bullshit

A better example is the Stanford prison experiment. Guy purposely put cruel bullies as the "guards" and more submissive participants as the "prisoners" to sway the study preemptively. Not to mention all the funky things people do with collected data. This isn't to say that when somebody with no expertise in a field doesn't understand a study that that study is bs tho, and I'll admit this is a fine line to walk as many pseudoscientists and crackpot theorists are created this way.
