Why would they be more likely to commit fraud at a site off campus rather than on-campus? What would stop them from committing fraud in the laboratory on campus? I do not understand what you are getting at. Do you think the professors suddenly become criminals when they drive a few kilometers from the campus? Or do you think they suddenly become very stupid and unable to do experiments? > Just few and negligible details that couldn't for sure have affected the > claimed results .... > The details you list are not "negligible" at all! They are huge. Anyone performing this experiment would know better than to use "an anonymous hole" in the arm. If the person doing the experiment was so stupid he would do this, he would be just as likely to do it on campus as off campus. Being inside the university gates does not automatically make a person less likely to make a stupid mistake. - Jed
