It's nice to know that fraud brings progress. That's very useful. I couldn't decide whether I want to promote my work by overstating its effect, like biologists or to threaten people, like climatologists.
But I think that if you stick with fraud, you can't go wrong.
Of course, you make my point by pointing to scientific progress that is inexorably tied to mathematics.
Math is used in all of science; so what? It's also used in the making of radio commercials.
