It's not vengeanceful punishment, it's detriment. If a system allowed me to publish fraudulent research or publish bad research recklessly, with the only consequence being "public shaming" (which is sometimes not really consequential if one has the right connections to the right people), what's to prevent me (and everyone else) from doing it over and over again? TBH from a legal perspective knowingly publishing false information for personal gain is already fraud. You're arguing that authorities should stay away because academia should somehow have immunity? That's a very disturbing line of thought.
