What do you want more than the firing?

If a CEO commits a crime does that mean the entire industry must ne shut down?

What sort of reasoning is this?

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.
