They had something to gain by publishing fake data. Parkhomov, on the other hand, does not seem to have anything to gain. I am at a loss as to why he might have done it, and why he covered it up for so long. Since there is no benefit and since it seems like something no scientist would do without a good reason (a nefarious reason), I wonder if it could mean Parkhomov has something wrong with him. As I said, if some elderly researcher I knew did this, I would worry about his health. Maybe it is not considered a big deal in Russia? I think it is, but I wouldn't know. - Jed
