#498253 — the most spectacular scientific fraud in a generation

Last year UCLA political science grad student and maybe soon-to-be
Princeton professor Michael LaCour released stunning findings from a
field trial on gay marriage called “When Contact Changes Minds.” He
found that a 20-minute conservation with a house-to-house canvasser
could convert huge numbers of opponents into supporters, at least if the
canvassers explained they were gay and told personal stories.

The study quickly became a media sensation, the most talked-about
poli-sci paper in years, and it led gay-rights activists including some
working on the Ireland referendum to retool their voter outreach.

The problem is that Mr. LaCour stands accused of faking everything from
start to finish. Ph.D. candidates at Berkeley David Broockman and Josh
Kalla tried but failed to replicate Mr. LaCour’s results. They then
noticed unusual statistical irregularities in Mr. LaCour’s survey panel.
He now says he pulled a Hillary Clinton and deleted his raw data. But
the canvassing firm he claimed to have employed has never heard of the
project—and there is no proof anyone was ever contacted, much less
changed their minds. 



"accused of faking everything from start to finish"

"Mr. LaCour denies wrongdoing"



Of course, 'faking everything from start to finish' is not wrong, or
doing it wrong....it may be illegal, a fedral offence, but
it isn't ....wrongdoing.


Murder isn't wrongding..
Stealing isn't wrongdoing..

maybe illegal...but certaintly not wrong..


You guys call it...'doing it right.'

"unusual statistical irregularities"... is 'doing it right.', isn't it?


.."faking everything from start to finish" is 'doing it right.', isn't
it???



Fuck the illegal...the illegal we do imeadately, the doing it right
takes a little longer to do..

"Mr. LaCour’s purported findings let them claim that science had proved them right. "

"...science had proved them right."



That's a create con line you guys use all the time...."science had proved them right".


I hear it, time and time again....


Science is...faking everything from start to finish.



This is a fake:

  Dennis Hastert hasn't even entered a plea yet. Do you think he's plead innocent, or guilty?

'wrongdoing' is not the same as 'illegal doing'. There are no laws
against 'doingwrong'.


Dening wrongdoing is not the same as deining illegaldoing.


Don't you get it? Every 3 year old says "I didn't do anything wrong!!!"



"denies wrongdoing" is a con artist trick...to sound as if he didn't do
anything...illegal.


Get wit the program.
