Maybe, but e.g. Millikan's prize for physics was on the basis of results that appear to have been at least partially fabricated.
- mitthrowaway2 1y agoWas it? I thought Millikan's measurement had a minor error from an incorrect viscosity of air, and several other researchers' subsequent measurements were fabricated to agree with Millikan's.
- lmm 1y agoThat also happened, but there are suspicious patterns in Millikan's data considered in isolation.
