Excellent summary. I’d also mention the lack of a control group. We’re supposed to conclude that it’s easier to (eventually) get fraudulent results published in so-called ‘grievance’ fields than it is in (say) physics. But the hoax authors never made any effort to publish fraudulent results in those fields, so we can’t know if the percentage of papers that were eventually accepted would have been lower or not.
