Come on guys would we have blamed if Guillaume was a woman? Most definitely not. Then why target him simply because he is a guy? Is this not discrimination?

If he were woman, the other males would be accused of forcing her into fraud. Right now, they get away scot free. THAT is discrimination.

Not really. No-one held a gun to his head and forced him to submit the paper. He's blown up his reputation for a paper he likely didn't need for tenure. Hence my scepticism that it was intentional.
Under your logic, fraudsters should stop after getting tenure because they don't "need" to do it anymore. Yet Retraction Watch is filled with stories of professors who continued faking papers years after being tenured.

True that. By that logic, Madoff should also have been exonerated. If only prosecutors shared your healthy skepticism.

Ok fair enough. Perhaps I'm naive. I just couldn't imagine doing anything to risk that notoriety. I would hate to discover major errors in one of my published papers.
