Regarding hanlons razor, I'm not making any accusations of malice. It could be malice, or it could be stupidity. Either way the results are the same. Frankly my opinion is that the line between the two is often quite blurred.

Regarding "undermining" novel innovation, you're right for sure. In this example, however, it's not undermining, I'm alleging they're not even doing compressive sensing, and that a competent unbiased reviewer would have caught it.

Sorry then, I read "hustling" as with intent. It definitely has negative connotation. Since it many times is seen as an act of fraud. Though strictly by definition this could be over zealousness and not malice, but it definitely has that connotation in vernacular use.
