Got a list? I've got a list of incidents of government employees intentionally lying to their overseers that just keeps growing, so I really have problems with the assertion that these measures exist in any other way than mere unenforced notional statutes.
- murgindrag 5y agoI do have a list, but it's not one I'm planning to go public with. As far as I can tell, no measures exist: * It's perfectly legal for most government employees to lie. * Academics can lie so long as they don't engage in research fraud as defined by the OMB, which is a rather complex line. Most can find ways to lie without coming close to that line, and when they do, the punishment is a slap-on-the-wrist.
