These flawed findings, for the most part, stem not from fraud or formal misconduct, but from more mundane misbehavior: miscalculation, poor study design or self-serving data analysis.[emphasis mine]

"What is "self-serving data analysis" then? Fraud-lite?"

Some people don't know and understand what they're doing. Their logic is bad and they're stuck with a faulty understanding of things that leads them further astray, or simply astray. It's nothing connected with honesty. It some cases the problem can be extreme, and overlaps honest/dishonest. That leads to a notable confusion.
