Have the authors of these non-sensical papers consulted the ethical panel, whether to conduct the experiment?
It seems to me (as was actually pointed out by the hoaxing authors themselves) that either you can take what they did seriously, or not, but not both.
- gdy 8y agoI'm with Dawkins on that: "If the members of your committee of inquiry object to the very idea of satire as a form of creative expression, they should come out honestly and say so. But to pretend that this is a matter of publishing false data is so obviously ridiculous that one cannot help suspecting an ulterior motive." In my opinion, this equally applies to allegations of unethical experimentation.
