    The harder it is to reproduce the experiment the less likely you are to be caught, and in the meantime you get paid to live your dream job as a world renowned scientist. It’s the whole “fake it til you make it” scheme ever-present in every field.

        Not really, they get caught within a few years usually. It just takes a much shorter amount of time to get caught for a simple experiment than a more complicated one.
