I think the disproportionate harm argument is a big deal. A single high-profile case of fraud undermines trust in the entire field, and that’s critical to maintain.
- anonthrowaway3 6y agoWhy is that critical to maintain? No one in the public should trust academic science given what a complete cesspool academia is like.
- galimaufry 6y agoI don't think that's true. There have been frauds in materials science, but people still trust it. The fields that are untrusted are the ones that are so hard that it's plausible that the conventional wisdom might be wrong even if everyone is honest.
