We need to know what happened... Did she beat the final boss?
You can so the same with fiat, which is why people in badly managed countries tend to use USD instead of their worthless currency.
The fact that Americans are not flocking to Euros, British Pounds or what not shows you that only a minority think that dollars are worthless paper. And yes, you need to buy bread and pay taxes, I'm talking about savings which americans keep in dollars.
You start with a sexy story that you know will get you a lot of press, like "promising you will be honest actually makes you behave in an honest way" and then you just make that paper happen, however you can.
Under the publish or perish system, scientists don't have time to actually research the topic, and imagine if it fails to confirm - you just wasted a lot of time and didn't publish anything. Too risky, it's much easier to just fake it till you make it, especially since you know peer reviewers never ever will accuse you of fraud.
Any reviewer accusing a scientist of fraud will just be excluded from the community, since it's very important to uphold the narrative that "scientists are always honest, they never cheat like politicians, which is why we must always trust scientists and never question them".
