The state of Arday’s subfield (sociology of education) is so bad that Arday’s entirely fraudulent work is not of meaningfully lower-quality than the median output.
After leaning more about his work and its context, I would like to retract my previous statement. To paraphrase Bismarck, the integrity of sociology of education research is not worth the bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier.

I think it’s relevant that this happened in Europe. America had its reckoning with race-studies scholars of questionable quality a few years ago. The threat of being called-up to Capitol Hill for sworn testimony and having your university’s federal funding cut seems to have put the fear of God back into university administrators. They would be scared to engage in this blatant of a cover-up on this side of the pond.
Ghent University sociology professors ought to be careful what they wish for right now.

But maybe I'm just biased because I can't imagine a pretty feminine woman like Zendaya ever really being a school shooter.

Someone needs to do an old-school Glenn Beck-style chalkboard conspiracy diagram connecting everyone in the SF effective altruism/AI community. Daniela Amodei (Dario’s sister) is married to GiveWell and Open Philanthropy founder Holden Karnofsky. Im not sure what this means, but I’m sure it means something.
I mean, that's a trivial way for what I said to be true, but even the original work is of quality that rounds to zero. Zero is not meaningfully lower than something that rounds to zero.
