"Fraudulent" implies intent to deceive, in order to justify pseudoscience ?
If I put myself forward, as an example, my lack of knowledge or understanding, can easily lead to unintentional lapses into 'Pathological Science' ... which I would hope, is detected and highlighted by others. (I would want for no less).
I would guess that most folk are always in the 'learning' mode and thus, I might estimate that this would be the majority of what I've seen, since I've been around here. And it would seem that the 'majority' is what keeps a forum honest.
(Mind you, that last paragraph is based on 'pathological science' !!)
