Academic research rarely (if ever) cares about "intentions" of the authors. I'd say papers are exclusively retracted for being "egregiously wrong" (or at least not trustworthy), and never for any "wrongdoing". The wrongdoing just happens to be a pretty good indicator that the conclusions probably aren't trustworthy.
