“Thank you for your personal examples of where you have seen science fraud.”

Your welcome. One more example that shows the difference in consequences between fraud in academia and in industry. In academia the consequences are few or none. Here’s what happened in industry. One Friday, all seemed normal with scientist X who was seen working in the lab. After the weekend we found his office dark and locked (no one locked their offices), and his name had been taken off his door and the Lab directory. NOBODY in management would talk about him. He was basically disappeared from the organization. Later we found out he had been caught faking some data.

Thomas Sowell says much the same thing in the YouTube video of him entitled, “Intellectuals and Society.” Liberal academicians can survive advocating stupid ideas because there are o negative consequences to them because they have tenure, while liberal engineers have to directly face the consequences of their stupid ideas.
