in tacit cooperation when they communicate their results to one another, criticize, recognize, refer to, appoint
or promote each other. They act in expectation that their contemporaries will behave according to certain
conventions. Any serious breach of these conventions is a pathological symptom, deserving our attention...
Strangely enough, deliberate, conscious, fraud is extremely rare in the world of academic science... the only
well-known case is “Piltdown Man”, which is more of a monument to the absolute trust that we have in a
reputable fellow scientist than an example of a grandly conceived crime... Self-deception...is an exceedingly
common phenomenon in the scientific world.’)

(Refutes the claim by Frank Spencer that Sir Arthur Keith was the hoaxer, and instead, points to Harrison
Matthews’ contention that Martin Hinton, either alone or with some other person, was involved. Hinton’s
entry in Who’s Who in 1935 records that he was interested in hoaxes and had studied many of them. The
article reproduces Hinton’s posthumous entry in Who Was Who 1961–1970.)
