removed not-necessary statement
Jun 28, 2012 at 1:03 comment added Rik Smith-Unna The purpose of peer review is not to detect fraud, so the peer review process did not fail 24 times for the same researcher. It's just that a researcher falsified his results. Unfortunately in science, as in all things, people can be deceiving. I don't think it's a reason to be any more skeptical about scientific papers than about anything else, and indeed scientific papers have other characteristics that make them, generally, the most reliable source of information we have.
