"On an individual level, all were exonerated by the NSF sponsored investigation at Rochester. That is correct. I am one of them."

True, the co-authors were exonerated. But there remain the editors who accepted dubious articles, and all the people who defended fraud when it should have been obvious something was wrong. We need a system where such people are so shamed they resign from their positions. How do we get there? The first step is to name them and propose they resign. They won't resign, but they'll know somebody thinks they should. That's easy for me to say, but I know it's unpleasant to do.
