- Surprisingly often associated: a refusal "to disclose their #NegativeResults or reveal the process towards obtaining their solutions", to reuse the words in [B] in another context
- #NegativeResults sometimes take the form of clear conceptual mistakes or serious #ScientificCode errors, easy for experts to "smell" even if undisclosed and "secretly" fixed (later on)
- The "refusal to disclose" sometimes appears to be unconscious, as if the ability to understand its gravity were lacking
