Every time a bad scientist is outed for dishonesty, the 99.99% of the rest of scientific community, who are honest & hardworking, cringes at what it does to their public image.
It can be very difficult to explain how science works to people, unfair blows to their credibility like this does not help.

Similar to when one dumb-a** pilot does something incredibly stupid and irresponsible in his or her small plane and all of us are being put in a bad light.

The error is in believing that individuals in academics are inherently more noble and immune to enlightened self-interest than are, say, home solar salesmen, trial lawyers, or any other calling.
