reminds me of the fake data on the study about dishonesty kerfuffle a while back. (whole site is pretty good actually. here's a four-parter focused on one particular researcher)

this is like that star trek episode where they use the holodeck to figure out what happens if you go warp 10, then it turns out actually doing that turns you into a lizard

this is interesting but i wish i could make heads or tails of what the original paper was even about lol

baldfacedly telling a critic in a zoom call "oh i used excel autofill lol" then being like "oh sorry i forgot to disclose that i used excel autofill for my data... whoopsy daisy :(" is a hilarious way to admit falsifying your research

Another piece of evidence proving my belief that economics is a completly fake and yogshit "field". The other professors and guys they cited in the article all basically said Yeah what he did wasnt actually bad, we all do that shit, but he should have put a foot note saying that he was making every thing up, like the rest of us do. Fuck economists 🖕🖕
