> Scientific research typically has been founded on high ethical standards established by researchers in academia and health care research institutions. Scientific fraud, an act of deception or misrepresentation of one's own work, violates these ethical standards.

And according to Ken Schutte:

> this method uses the test label as part of its decision process which is not the standard classification setting and can't be fairly compared to others that don't.

Can anyone make the case that these two descriptions don't overlap? Personally I can't see how the original author can be so blasé about this.

I try to explain in this comment[0]. I agree that this is unethical behavior, but we need to also be aware of what pressures are encouraging this behavior. I also think Ken is romanticizing the standards of science a bit here. This would be great, but it is not what happens in practice. Unfortunately. Mostly unintentionally, but there is intentional ones too.
