  • Abstract
    In the search for a new catalyst, Jay´s group has narrowed the possibilities to A and B. Data, possibly erroneous, show B as the choice. But Jay, his whole group, and his boss (a catalyst expert) are certain A is better. His boss tells Jay to make up false data and write a report favoring catalyst A. What would you do in Jay´s situation?
