Indeed! "we could not figure out a better solution in this study".

There IS a better solution: not to proceed with that "study" at all.

Well, or do what an ethical research would do and seek authorization from the board of Linux foundation before doing any (who knows potentially illegal social engineering attacks) on team members.

Next study would involve creating fake grant to study researcher review process of discerning which grant is a scam or not

Exactly. Since when is "people will sometimes believe lies" a uncertain question that needs experimental review to confirm?

Maybe that cop convicted yesterday was actually just a UMN researcher investigating the burning scientific question "does cutting off someone's airway for 9 minutes cause death?".

  • Careful, the prosecution’s witnesses testified on cross–examination that there was no evidence of bruising on Floyd’s neck, which is inconsistent with “cutting off someone's airway for 9 minutes”.
