Can this little fiasco then put put into the fraud category the next time evos ask us for examples?
Why not, they pretty much admit as much:
For many, many years, the 1% difference served us well because it was underappreciated how similar we were, says Pascal Gagneux, a zoologist at UC San Diego. Now its totally clear that its more a hindrance for understanding than a help.
I guess they are only now just getting around to realizing that their fraudulant campaign has been so successful that we now underappreciate how truly different humans and chimps really are! I’m sure they would have preferred to leave it that way, but now our miseducation is getting in the way of the very science they SHOULD have been practicing all along!
This guy pretty much sums up my thoughts on the subject:
You can if you want to. Just make up a definition of "fraud" that fits the circumstances and use it.
