The case with Eliezer Masliah is nuts and it might have been on the front page a week ago or so. The guy had 800 papers over several decades. Now over a hundred of his papers are in question? So this basically casts doubt on all of his research. Where was the skepticism and review before? None of his colleagues or coauthors noticed? The guy should be in jail.
Yes, scientific progress is awesome, when taking a long view -- but it requires that we keep being critical if we want the progress to continue.
