I have 100+ refereed papers. I personally pored over every line, graph, image, and chart in every one of them. I was prepared to defend every word/picture; I knew where the source materials were and was always prepared to produce them.

I have 100+ refereed papers. I personally pored over every line, graph, image, and chart in every one of them. I was prepared to defend every word/picture; I knew where the source materials were and was always prepared to produce them. This idea that "it's all too big and complex and how could anyone have known" is the biggest pile of BS I have heard -- exactly what one hears about the clearly corrupt covid trials where the numbers looked good for 60 days, but only if you excluded the first two weeks...and then after the 60 days also went to hell. Those people, too, say "we couldn't have known". This is all both a grift and a lie. Any competent lab chief would be all over this -- fraudulent data used to be the instant death knell of any academic. My vote: Lose your job and, if bad enough, lose your license. These kinds of frauds KILL people...doesn't anyone care anymore? (The government's covid management/response disaster says "no", but hope springs eternal.)
