On: “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”

[Ma8ee]

That’s about as useful as to answer the question “what is this company doing?” with “trying to make money”.

But that question is as deep and important to answer as yours :D What can anyone hope to accomplish by doing fake research ? Progress, wealth, peer approval, mating, pleasure ?

So answering that they hope to get more material for papers, which is the only goal of researchers (and their main KPI), is quite deeper an answer than the question required.

I wouldn't call this fake research. Maybe unethical, but they did do research, and they did obtain data,and they did (attempt?) to publish it.
