And that fact highlights the mistakes made here.
A fellow researcher intentionally pushing bad data into a colleague's study as some kind of penetration test on the colleague's scientific methodology would be justifiably seen as betrayal, and a possibly bad faith betrayal at that since research grants are a finite resource.
The researchers in the story appear to have failed to extrapolate that sort of collegial courtesy to the open source community maintaining Linux.
