		__turbobrew__ 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Fraud, so much fraud It is a lot easier to just falsely prove the experiment since the data is already there and the publisher of the paper is not going to push back if you confirm it. Why go through all the work of actually proving/disproving the experiment when you can just change tweak the numbers of the original experiment, say you actually reproduced the experiment, and then move on?

> say you actually reproduced the experiment

And get a nice $100k too for close to zero effort!

(Having in mind: "plus another $100,000 which you could use to publish a replication")
