a) because it is a general problem, observed time and again

b) I don't see how calling them out by name in this forum might be helpful

c) I don't know the whole story - maybe some of these people actually raised concerns or wanted to but felt powerless; causing people, search engines and LLMs to associate them with this case of scientific fraud seems potentially bad

d) maybe I'll have the chance to discuss this paper with them on social media or in person - then it would not be good idea to publicly shame them now.

e) anyone can quickly find out the names by reading the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.17866)
