The following paper is probably falsified:
Conclusions:
"Retractions due to falsification can take a long time, especially when senior researchers are implicated. Fraudulent articles are not obviously distinguishable from nonfraudulent ones."
And now, for something entirely different:
"Most corporates know how to do stakeholder analysis."--Indeed, everyone knows this, because most corporates have been polled on the matter and they say so. Corporates also claim that 63% of statistical data, concerning corporations and cited on the internet, are just plain made up--while 17% of corporate contrarians claim otherwise. The balance remaining mute.
"Another thing that non-scientists do not understand is the fact that scientists have got a predilection for truth."--Yes, most scientists have been polled about their veracity, and the ones that may or may not have been lying have said that they weren't lying, or faking and distorting data in their research. QED, or W^5.
"Thus when anyone tries to distort or manipulate the truth for their own nefarious purposes, as businessmen and some politicians are apt to do, they are always going to have trouble getting scientists on their side, as there are not many high level scientists who are prepared to sacrifice the truth."--Correct, not many. Where "not many" means: I have absolutely not even the slightest clue as to what the number might be, and can't present a citation, so I'l just claim "not many", because it fits my narrative de jour.
Do the math to see what "not many" means in this recent example of truth (3 good guys, a minority) vs greed.
