That should mean you know better than to accuse one of your colleagues of ethics violations on the basis of a cursory perusal of Wikipedia. Would you do something like that using your real name?

In an informal conversation, the equivalent of a forum like HN but with my real name? Sure, I would have no problem saying out loud and unanonymously > "it wasn't on Wikipedia" is hardly an excuse when it comes to ethics which is what I actually wrote, in a post where I'm not even talking about the particular situation. I expressed dismay about a failure to properly attribute ideas, and then I explained that I don't care about what was written in 2014 on Wikipedia, experts should know better anyway. If you've decided to read an accusation in what I wrote, that is absolutely on you. The most negative thing I wrote about the author was: > You'd expect an emeritus professor to have enough time on their hands to check their sources... And, again, I would have absolutely no problem saying that in public with my real name. I've said much "worse".
