I don't understand your argument at all. What does philosophy have to do with any of this? Are you claiming that if more people were to study philosophy, this would make the world more "moral", leading to less scientific fraud?

I see things like this as part of the cost of doing more and more advanced research at a fast pace. You are bound to have a few misses, but all in all you still make progress.

Popper, Kuhn etc where laying the groundwork for how to validate phenomena and add facts to our models of the world.

The black swan is a good example of this problem (i.e. what lead to why we try to falsify things.)

Without a discussion about scientific methods no science and therefore Philosophy is important.
