To you it "looks carnivorous".
Not to an expert.

It matters not what my area of expertise is.

What you "think" skulls look like is right next to worthless.

Replication is a requirement for any research result to become validated, and if other scientists can't replicate it then that can't happen. Any scientist who lies will always be eventually found out. There's just no point to it.
​
Hate to rain on your parade, but this isn't entirely correct.
​
Oops!
​
Scientists fudge data. And get away with it.

Re: umm....
Well. No. Because, until a few years ago, nobody checked the gels for Photoshopping.
​
Mr. Rossner became a leading crusader for such checks after he accidentally stumbled upon manipulated images in an article submitted to The Journal of Cell Biology six years ago, when he was the publication's managing editor.
​
Since then, The Journal of Cell Biology has checked 250 suspect papers and confirmed 25 that were faked.
​
I don't like this scientists-fake-stuff any more than the next girl, but there you have it. Who knows what slips thru?

This doesn't mean that intentional fraud will be the conclusion in such cases but it does mean that fraudulent data will have little significant impact in the long term.
​
I agree, WK.
