There is also problem of "defensive writing" as in writing that is not supposed to be understood. Math is very often used in this way - math is impressive, math gives vibe of rigor and formalism, math requires a lot of effort from reviewer to dispute, but is very often bullshit meant to sell a simple idea (sometimes even wrong idea) as a big contribution that is just simply hard to understand for uneducated. Nobody want to look uneducated, so it's unlikely you will be criticized.
