Especially 5 - you if you disbelieve that one you are saying that scientists never fabricate evidence.
That would be misreading the question. The important part is "in order to deceive the public", whereas the aim is mostly career advancement. Or being paid.

aye. publish or perish isn't a conspiracy, and tenure track ain't a thing unless you're hitting research home-runs.
