@newtsoda The idea that anyone -- *anyone,* researcher or not -- would consider a willingness to sacrifice ethical principles for monetary gain to be mentally *healthier* than standing by one's sense of ethics is....

That's sociopathy. Like, they're literally saying that sociopathy is normal.

Not JUST normal, even, but somehow more correct than fundamental altruism.

Ugh.

In other words:

"We were paid to find a problem, and even though the researsh shows none, we'll make one to justify it."
