"It's been known for how many decades that speculation could be problematic?"

You wrote a statement not question.

It was really a question. The word order was a bit unusual, but essentially what OP wrote was: "For how many decades has it been known that speculation could be problematic?"

Yeah, but it was a rhetorical question - so, while framed as a question it was, in fact, a statement, not a question.
