I think p-hacking is a form of BS. So a lot of PhD students, post docs, and tenured researchers are engaged in BS. Then there's impact statements for research topics that obviously have no societal impact. And yet statements get written and funding is allocated.

So it's not clear to me what your challenge is trying to get at. BS is rife everywhere. Maybe you meant, "try being a researcher without having to resort to BS".

I think parent means B's not BS, although p-hacking is very much an overoptimization over easily defined gials.
