Whenever I see this stuff I wonder how much fraud is being perpetrated by people with enough statistical know how to make it hard to detect.
Re-analyzing data 20 times, changing methodologies (median versus mean, handling of outliers, etc.) typically is enough to get an interesting result, and isn't enough to raise alarms. Most people are competent enough to do something like that.
Credit theft is rampant at MIT as well. Financial schemes too. No one does a darned thing about it either.
