Socialscientists are very vindictive, they do not like it when someone demonstrates the principles of liberal arts methods to the trusting masses:

I think everyone remembers the scandal with the peer-review attack of several quoted journals:
“Three brave researchers, Helen Plakrouz, editor of Areo, Peter Bogosyan, professor of philosophy at PSU, James Lindsay, a mathematician, published fake research in seven cited journals and no one suspected anything.”
The main skirmisher of the whole joke, Peter Bogosyan, risks to say goodbye to his post (and to be blacklisted), since an investigation has been launched against him.
It turns out that an attempt to mislead the relevant journals and their employees can be interpreted as an experiment on people. To do this, you must first obtain a special permit from the institutional review board (IRB) (ethics committee) of its university.
If you think that the reactions of the whole community are unequivocal, then it is far from the truth.
Some scientists argue that they should act according to the “letter of the law” - he was engaged in prohibited research during working hours and was paid for it.
Someone considers it necessary to fire him and take a triumphant position for another, observing all the regulations and humiliating the PSU native for Mr. Bogosyan.
Someone hopes that this case will serve as the starting point for reforming the IRB and the process of interaction with it.
Of course, the humorist was forced to ask for public support from colleagues.
Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker and Jordan Peterson and some other personalities signed an open letter in defense of Mr. Bogosyan.
