Something I've long suspected.

I don't think that "deliberate academic fraud" is "rampant" in the US, quite the opposite in fact. Can you quote me a reputable source where deliberate fraud has been perpetrated? This sort of rampant sensationalism is usually the realm of the conspiracy theorists or television writers. If you're going to make a statement like this back it up with some facts.
More likely that being an American Society, the rules have to be written down, or people will bend them. These statements are not new, every scientist worth their salt adheres to these principles. This is why I can trust scientific publications that have been through peer review.
