Even government funded research becomes corrupted. Special interest groups, inconvenient results giving lesser weight, laws and policy limiting what can be studied, manipulation of results to portray a pre-determined narrative.
My goto example is the NISVS 2010 where a man being forced to have sex but not being forcefully penetrate was defined to not be rape but only sexual assault, and then the summary section showing how few men were raped (while leaving the particular definition of rape buried in the details).
This same corruption is all the harder to see as you deal with studies moving towards biology and neurology as the base level of knowledge needed to understand a given paper to the same degree increases (per my own experiences and those of others I've talked to).
