"3. The first response of journals and universities on being informed of fraud is to turn around and tell the fraudster everything, so there's no way to keep fraud detection techniques secret."

- origin_path 4y agoYeah. Academic culture is totally broken, they institutionally assume at every level that everyone is honest and fraud doesn't exist. Therefore if someone points out problems with a paper or its data, it must be merely a mistake and the civilized thing to do is ask for a correction. There appear to be no limits to how absurd this phenomenon can get.
