    Yeah, the inertia to do anything about fraud is staggering and considering that there is more bad science and randomly wrong science that is even more difficult to correct… Glad I’m not in academia.

    Edit: autocorrect

      That makes two of us. This is so depressing and it also feels like the situation is hopeless and things will only get worse :/

    Here is a very interesting analysis of a group of papers done by one of the same authors (Gino) on another study about dishonesty. Ariely comes out looking pretty unsavory as well, and is implicated in other frauds.

    The analysis of the font groups of the original spreadsheet data is particularly funny.
