I have repeatedly brought to your attention the various citations about research fraud using your beloved scientific method, yet you still persist in believing that the scientific method is infallible, always used with the best of intentions, never tainted by greed, ego and avarice and destined to save mankind from itself. Where do you get your quaint optimism? Quote
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Repeatedly? No. But is research fraud any worse than the fraud committed by charlatans who purvey pop medical treatments? I doubt it. And this sort of problem is just a systemic problem which you try to counteract by designing ways to catch and prevent it. Besides, such a method is merely designed to try to filter out greed, ego and avarice, but it will not always succeed. Quote
