of a failed experiment.
11) Applicant is currently under investigation for fabricating data.
12) Applicant has a reputation for improperly adjusting data by deleting subjects 
who do not behave as predicted.
13) Applicant has a distinctly inferior teaching record:  
	All His lectures were in fact given by His son.
	He never attended class, merely instructing students to read the text.
	He expelled his first two students for learning.
	He holds infrequent office hours, usually in inaccessible regions.
	More than 90% of students fail the course, despite the fact that there are
only ten requirements.
