Science is captured by corpos... They pay for a bulk of it and they get results they need.
Who carws if it is fake, we won't find out for 10 years but corpos get the PR when they need it.
Isn't a lot of science still publicly funded? iirc part of the problem is that initial and thus risky research is publicly funded but as soon as it shows promise some strange magic occurs that turns it into private intelectual property.
