It is indeed disappointing posture the institute is putting on full display here.


They become aware of academic dishonesty where a student tried to publish a paper with faked data, and taking it down is disappointing posturing? What?


which becomes part of the record. Can put a banner up top. Expunging takes it out of the record, folks can't trace the history of it. Also, I didn't say 'posturing' which has a particular meanring, I said it's 'a posture'.


Retracting a paper is basically putting a big RETRACTED banner on it, yeah, which is what MIT is asking the author to do.
