I agree, specially with the 2nd point. You can see this in virtually every academic institution where researchers will find all ways to simply "plot" good results, i.e., beat the data until you find what you want. The intrinsic value of the research is nearly 0, because all that matters is to get things published to attract citations that will help them in getting promotions and prizes.
