I didn't read your comment as a defense, only as an explanation. And as an explanation, you're right: The pressure is getting to way too many people. But how can you fix it? I'm afraid good answers need very deep change. Society lets a few 'winners' (whether by cheating, effort, good luck, or anything else) reap too much of our collective rewards.

How the hell do you manage to bring deep change to large entrenched bureaucracies like universities though? Honestly, I’m surprised there wasn’t a crackdown or any supression on the guy who exposed this person.


The guy who exposed this person is the child of two prominent New York Times journalists.
