Harvard Researcher May Have Fabricated Data

The article linked in the OP made it sound as if the students where lab students involved in the study. "students felt they were being pushed to reach a particular conclusion that they thought was incorrect" If this is the case then it seems quite obvious that the very people directly involved in the study would be the first people to discover a fraud. I think it would be great news if the very first people that could have possibly exposed a fraud did in fact expose the fraud. Because not even the people he used to help with the study could be trusted to cover up a fraud? Not even lowly students would shut up, let alone competitors.

Odd though that something so flawed works. An entire field full of liars and frauds who use a system that's flawed and "cannot achieve what you all want"... but it still works; Its like a miracle, or paranormal, or something.
