UCLA Professor Refuses to Cover for Dan Ariely in Issue of Data Provenance

I'm curious about the mechanical details here. How can a tenured professor at UCLA not be aware that they contributed (not author?!) to a paper cited 3000 times?

So... the mechanical details are that the authors of the paper w/ fake data said that Rossi did the study for them when asked about it.

She wasn't an author, so she had no reason to be involved w/ (for example) the referee process. She was made aware that this was their claim when someone contacted her.

She also works in a slightly different literature IMO. Even if she had read the article, it probably didn't say "the data gathering was done by Prof. Rossi at UCLA"

She's not in the authors list, and a misspelling of her name was thanked in the paper.
