      I have found the pushback here bizarre. Of course it’s academic misconduct to seek publication of a fabricated study in a journal, even if you were only doing it to make a point.https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1083728248876556288 …

      Here's my long piece in @intelligencer on the Peter Boghossian/"grievance studies"/PSU investigation situation. The short version: There appears to be significantly less evidence this is a witch hunt on PSU's part than many people think and are claiming. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/01/is-peter-boghossian-getting-railroaded-for-his-hoax.html …

      It’s worth noting, even though these researchers call this “Sokal Squared,” the original Sokal Hoax paper was not fabricated as such — it was a pile of nonsense but did not contain false empirical claims.

      Replying to @jbarro

      Data fabrication makes this a fraud, not a Sokalian hoax. Fabricating data gets people into the top medical journals: see vaccine/autism study in The Lancet. That fraud resulted in the doctor losing his license. Some journals publish crap, for sure. This isn't how to study that.

          FWIW, it would still be a terrible precedent to fire him over violating IRB protocols in what would otherwise be a fairly low-risk study albeit annoying, bad faith and misrepresented. He's in the wrong but this shouldn't be a firing offense.

          There must be something in the fact that a mere journalist and non expert in the field was able to figure out this was a hoax (leading to its uncovering).
