It is clear in the last several decades that sciences whatever a stream of cash wants it to be. Much of our scientific and medical establishments are corrupt to the core. This is shameful and pathetic.
I don't have a problem with that one at all. ;-)
There is no reward mechanism in place for demonstrating that the work in the reviewed paper is sound. Students can’t get graduate degrees doing that, papers for publication don’t get generated nor is funding available for such activity. Research is expensive, it’s not just manipulating equations and writing computer code. Graduate students need to be paid (Paid less then minimum wage! What do you think they are - Football\Basketball players?) and money has to exist to pay for their tuition. Even though validating “work” is an important part of the scientific process. The “university\college” wants to be paid for the “overhead” it provides even if it’s nothing more than a roof to keep the ran out. ((Note overhead often more then 50%!)
Non-random results are a common tool for identifying fraud, not just in science papers but in ordinary crime. In the book The Design Inference the story is told of a Democrat operative who was supposed to randomly choose which candidate was listed first on a state ballot in elections (because it is known that whomever is first gains a significant advantage). In 39 of 42 ballots they put the Democrat first. This was enough to earn them a conviction as it was outside the bounds of reasonable probability.
In another case, a criminal was caught because a search of an insurance claims database showed he kept claiming to be injured in restaurants and shaking down the owners for a quick payout. "I slipped on a mint jelly packet in the bathroom" only works so many times - particularly when some of the restaurants didn't even carry mint jelly.
The fools, they mocked me. Said you can’t animate a dead body and make it do your bidding. Well, little did they know. My paper is now peer reviewed! BWAHAHAHA! Pull the switch, Igor!
Well, Dueling Banjos is used as background music.

“This was enough to earn them a conviction as it was outside the bounds of reasonable probability.”
The likelihood that five big blue cities in swing states would independently stop counting votes, kick Republican poll workers or watchers out at about 11 pm and then restart at about 3 a.m. with only Dems present certainly seems “outside the bounds of reasonable probability.”
I am sad about the direction our country is heading.
ABC there is the “Australian Broadcasting Company.” What do they call it Down Under?
I don’t think the American Broadcasting Company even has a Science Unit with which to hold junk-science’s feet to the fire.
Piled higher and deeper
Thanks, I didn’t see the hidden messaging there....
Now I know why?
Cabanac and his colleagues realized that researchers who wanted to avoid plagiarism detectors had swapped out key scientific terms for synonyms from automatic text generators, leading to comically misfit phrases. “Breast cancer” became “bosom peril”; “fluid dynamics” became “gooey stream”; “artificial intelligence” became “counterfeit consciousness.” The tool is publicly available.
To err is human, but to really screw up requires a computer
They ARE darned good words and ought to enter the lexicon!
Foreign invaders has become oppressed migrants
Now that is an idea
If it’s religion, it’s the State sponsored one.
FYI Ping..........................
ABC in this case is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It sounds fine to my ear.
Just don’t start discussing Southern California freeways and “the.”
We’re left with nothing to trust...except our gut.
If it sounds too good to be true...........Give it a government grant....................
