Rent seeking in academia
There is a conflict of interest between a given researcher and the subject under consideration. The objective function of an academic department (and person) becomes collecting citations, honors, etc. at the expense of the purity of the subject: for instance many people get stuck in research corners because it is more beneficial to their careers and to their department.
