		Broken window theory to the extreme. If the leader of one of the countries most famous research groups commited research fraud with a slap on the wrist it's not hard to realize how broken it is. I have personally worked with famous researchers and seen a few fudge their work. Acting ignorant of the major flaws implies you haven't been involved, or inside a bubble of research nirvana.
