I think it would be awesome if we had more cases like this! Like, if Hawaii split off from the USA and made the national language Hawaiian, but I doubt it would ever happen.

And he was caught, and the articles re-edited.

Do you have any idea how many cases of academic fraud are uncovered each year?
