Agree 100%! But, I think most cases of image manipulation happens after analysis. Is the manipulated representative image even a data point in the data? Have you ever found manipulation in the rare cases in which raw images are also published?

Images ARE the data. Manipulating images can make the results look much different/better. You can make the experimental results look different.
Once the image manipulation is discovered, the hypothesis falls apart.

HAHAHA, I think your are misunderstanding negative results. Negative means that she did not find fraud, does not mean that there isn't one. If she only searches for image duplication, there can be data manipulation.

Would you say that publishing misleading results in unethical behavior? If so, why the action of NOT publishing misleading (negative) results be considered unethical behavior? If you want to continue, DM me. I'm sure this creating frustrating notifications to someone

Thank god science police is not at universities. I prefer independent reviews. I do agree most people have an exaggerated view. As humans negative points are more salient than positive. From experience (& been told from credible sources), I know lots of labs who have manipulated results, allegedly.

Of course no university backs up scientists like Dr Bik! Who gains more from articles with the best results? Its their prestige, which correlates to money making. I think (I have NOT verified this) the more prestigious the university, the more fraudulent their papers "are" accounting for n authors

I feel like these "science police" are made of activists. Maybe some do stem from negative experience and want to avenged. Either way, science is all about testing theories. If you (plural) are not willing to be corrected by someone, you should not do science. Science is NOT the absolute truth.
