I'd venture the offender is not really in his line of work for the right reasons if he does that. Just shows what's happened to science since it's founders' times.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoWhat would be a wrong reason to study science?
- chris_l 16y agoGreed for fame, money, power etc.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoWhy is it wrong to study science because you want to make money at it?
- athom 16y agoI don't believe wanting to make money at something equates to greed for money, necessarily. You can pursue science for monetary gain, and no (reasonable) person will hold that against you. Scientists have to eat too, y'know? That said, there is such a thing as going too far, and to sabotage the work of others, literally tamper with, damage, and/or destroy it, definitely crosses that line.
- chris_l 16y agoWell, not morally wrong or anything. But you can earn a lot more with the same effort elsewhere. For good science to result, you will usually have to be driven primarily by your passion for the research itself. ymmv
