You specify present-day academia. Do you feel as though there was a point in the past where this wasn't true? If so, when, and why do you think it's changed?
Nothing, it's a reference to the period not the event itself. Something went wrong in Academia sometime between the 60's and 80s, to the point where papers today routinely get both peer-approved and simultaneously can't be reproduced. Something is very wrong with our ethics.
