Really? Tell me how scientists have been held responsible for reinterpretations. It's easy to find many examples of scientists who can't be blamed for how their discoveries are used. For instance, Watson and Crick would never have reported DNA because they knew it would be used by supremicists and other racists to justify their thoughts.
