"Actually, my contention is that the system encourages fraud and unsupportable, overblown and half-assed work. Korean stem-cell research is just one of a plethora of symptoms of a larger disease."

Funding for stem-cell research skyrocketed after the false data was announced. So plenty of scientists are living off of the blood money of blatantly fraudulent research. Nice.
