In fairness..
in certain ideologies, belief in scientific research and the scientific method, in and of itself, is regarded as a political ideology. Not necessarily only a scientific one.
To them, it's exclusionary to require that ideas be backed by data and replicated via peer review before being taken seriously, or even published in certain journals. Whereas to most academics the very problem are the cracks in the integrity of peer review, and the replication crisis.
It's a case of world views that are simply diametrically opposed.
