Why does opaque bad research form psychology, social sciences or paleoclimatology constantly gets media attention and support? I absolutely do not believe it has anything to do with notation.

And let’s be real. If you couldn’t understand sigma notation in school, the chances that you would comprehend complex science are very low no matter what kind of verbiage or, as it often would be more apt to say, verbal garbage it is wrapped in.

I absolutely agree with you that oftentimes bad research is disguised with ten dollar words. And oftentimes it is disguised with convenient agenda (no matter how true or good this agenda is by itself). But I don’t believe it has anything to do with Greek letters.
