I would have to disagree with your last statement. My opinion would be that 98 percent of people are honest. I think it would be wrong to attribute the dishonesty of the other 2% to the scientific community as a whole. Im sure you could provide 100 examples of falsified claims, or fake evidence. But I think that is the exception not the rule. It is my faith in people in general would lead me to disagree with your statements. What you are saying could be attributed to almost any part of society - take police officers for example - their are stories of prejudice, drug dealing, etc within their ranks but once again I would say that this is the exception not the rule, and I wouldnt make broad claims to say that the police community are all prejudice and they all deal drugs to further their own incomes as i know most of them to be honest caring people.
