Question for the fediverse: what's a not-racist non-colonialist not-sex-pest-hagiographied term for describing the kind of behavior that often gets called "cargo culting"?

In particular, when some discipline imitates all the nonfunctional aspects of another discipline in order to reproduce the original discipline's credibility; for example, intelligent design "journals" circa 2005 imitating the structure but not the content of biology and anthropology journals.
