@jackofalltrades @lienrag @FantasticalEconomics @phiofx @phil_stevens @GeofCox @504DR @gerrymcgovern that's basically what heterodox means. Heterodox fields are created when research fails peer review and the authors create a new journal and field with like-minded individuals who will sign off on their work.
If you have a nonsense methodology and junk results, you can establish a heterodox field, train a few students to rubber stamp your work and begin branding it as the real science.
