They know and if they don't they should not be a co-author.

  Baloney. That's literally not how academic papers work in any part of the world. At some point you need to be able to trust your co-authors aren't lying. For example, co-authors of Francesca Gino (the Harvard Biz School prof accused of falsifying data) had to start a project, https://manycoauthors.org/ https://manycoauthors.org/, to essentially compare notes. I'd also consider some of these co-authors victims here. To be clear, I'm not saying any of the authors get a free pass, but different authors have vastly different levels of culpability.
