Mike is falsifying data and this will twist the results of Jon's research.
4.1.4.1, Consider the following situation.
"Mike is a first year undergraduate studying Philosophy at university and his housemate, Jon, is a first
year Nutrition student. As part of one of his courses, Jon needs to collect data on the eating habits of
first year university students. To do this, he has asked Mike and nine of his other friends to keep a record
of what they eat, and when, for a week.
Mike agrees to help, and keeps a fairly accurate record of what he has eaten. When the week is up Jon
asks Mike to email him his data. However, when Mike is typing up his eating habits for the week, he
realises that he hasn't eaten any vegetables at all. Not wanting to seem unhealthy, especially because he
doesn't want Jon to judge him, he pretends that he made a pumpkin soup and adds that to his list. He also
adds a couple of salads to some of his main meals and deletes one of the chocolate bars. Satisfied, he
emails the list to Jon."
