Just “comment on cases of US academic misconduct after 2019” if I recall correctly. Then you ask it to modify, or add, or focus on… It gradually build up a narrative.

The abundance of clones corners is worrying to say the least. Even more worrying is that this type of malpractice is only one of the many used by “high profile” folks to “create” the resemblance of sophistication, mechanistic insights and such. When raw data does not cooperate with their ambition.

There is a limitation of this analysis that needs to be discussed. At least in life sciences retractions tend to occur when the sleuths detect “smoking guns”, in particular figure duplications. It is entirely plausible, in fact most probable, that the bulk of science misconduct avoids these deeds.
