Most STEM people are honest? No. Having worked decades as an engineer, sometimes over scientists, I can tell you that STEM people are just as susceptible to human frailty and peer pressure as any other group. Some of them dont need help to be dishonest. I posit that none of you have any daily experience with science, otherwise you'd appreciate that 95 percent of PhDs dare not stand up against the groupthink. You would also appreciate how much if clumate science is total garbage. What an echo chamber. Thankfully, the political pressure to accept climate orthodoxy is currently waning. And i give a damn about your downvotes, or your unqualified replies. |

An EE calculating a resistor for a circuit has a certain applied relative honesty such that either he's truthful about 2+2=4 and the circuit works or he lies and the 2+2=5 and the circuit doesn't work. That times 300 days/year time millions of engineers times centuries of progress equals our pretty freaking cool miracle of a modern world. Some individuals sometimes cheat when they play poker, or lie about politics, whatever.
On the other hand consider a line of work inherently relatively on average dishonest like marketing a dish soap via TV commercial method of marketing. No amount of extra lying will eventually construct Hoover Dam or land men on the moon.
