I wouldn't be as pessimistic as this. Having been in relatively low-pressure parts of academia (polisci, behavioural economics, behavioural genetics), I can't say I've ever seen clear fraud or direct pressure to commit fraud. Bad research, bullshit, politics, yes... but those are maybe not unique to academia.
Anyway, quite a wake-up call to be told we should model ourselves on finance. Ow.
