In any endeavor there will always be those individuals who will perpetrate frauds, because of ego, or money, or whatever reason...frauds with science are no exception...when they do happen, they should be exposed...but because a fraud occurs, does that actually mean to you that the whole of a particular scientific endeavor should be dismissed?
I consider creeps like Jim Jones, and Jimmy Swaggart, and my own pesonal favorite, Benny Hinn, and all the priests who molested the altar boys to be frauds, frauds to the Christian religion..does that mean that Christianity should be dismissed because of the frauds who operate within that framework?
Frauds, in whatever venue, should be exposed, for they do not represent the true nature of that venue...and once exposed, they should no longer be trusted...

Certainly, I'm just tired of "scientists" saying that we must believe everything they say because they are "scientists".
We have these people in the educational system who consider themselves elite because they are professors or because they have been career college students.
