For example, programmers and engineers may be somewhat antisocial but they are usually honest about technical issues because you can't lie to a computer. As Rudyard Kipling put it, machines "are not built to comprehend a lie."
You would think that scientists are similarly constrained. Nature is not built to comprehend a lie either. Many of them are constrained, but others I think are not. They resemble programmers who never ship a product, but only vaporware. I mean scientists whose work is not replicated. There have been several scandals in recent years about this.
Of course there are many honorable, hard-working scientists.
