Go back to Bezwoda et al in the 1990s-fraudulent RCT of bone marrow transplant for breast cancer. Set off a massive wave of transplants (and women protesting on the steps of capitol buildings). Bottom line , 21 RCT later —it did not work. The IMBTR concluded nearly 8000 women lost their lives early because of the transplants. Science? Science is as political as anything else! Bezwoda wanted fame; the NEJM didn’t do its due diligence before publishing it.
Unfortunately fraud in the scientific community is rife. Physics PhD Sabine Hossenfelder even went as far as to say she's lost faith in scientists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMOjD_Lt8qY and you can see why when you read of the avalanche of fraud documented in https://retractionwatch.com/

I’m not sure business school psychology qualifies as sciene, or indeed any kind of real scholarship.
Perhaps not, but there’s plenty of fraud on the hard side of science also.
Mendacity appears to be less socially reprehensible today than in the recent past.
Look at the fundamental falsehoods of the Biden administration.
Look at Trump's daily lying.
Look at the lying by the media.
It feels like "everyone does it".
So how terrible a sin can it be?
But society is degraded. So are once proud institutions.
Society requires trust; without trust, we are headed to being a Somalia.
What is the answer?
