Except for it being doublespeak.
For individuals arguing on the internet, "Do your own research" has long meant cherry pick others' research to support your own worldview, regardless (or in spite) of its scientific flaws.

It's literally in the name. The people 'in the know' know what "Department of Peace" means, and the masses use it to laugh at anyone who dares to think they invent wars. That's the point.
