A far better approach would be to study patch submissions and see how many bugs were introduced by the result of those patches being accepted and applied, without any interference of any kind.
Problem with that is it's a lot of work and they didn't want to do it in the first place.
Exactly, they are just seem mad and blame other for "wrong doings" instead of acknowledging that they need to improve.
You misunderstood me. I said the ones who tried to "see if the bugs would be detected or not in new submitted patches" are the lazy ones who instead of analyzing the existing code and existing bugs, attempted to submit new ones. Actually working on analyzing existing data would require more work than they were willing to do for their paper.
They had no intent to find vulnerability in the code they intended to find/proof vulnerability in the review process, totally different things.
