Antonio, look up SciGen, or even better the Sokal Affair, for examples of the motive to write a lot but not really say anything. It’s a deceptive high-level rhetorical trick that’s highly useful to people who want to make their voices heard, or are expected to say something, but have nothing of value to say on the matter. It’s intellectually dishonest and deserves to be called out, and I don’t think it’s a type of trickery that most present company would deign to try. But it’s not as far-fetched as you’re implying.
