Whether or not you agree that trimming and cooking are likely to lead on to downright forgery, there is little to support the argument that trimming and cooking are less reprehensible and more forgivable.

Commit any of these three sins and your scientific career is in jeopardy and deserves to be.
Charles Thomas Jackson
