22) Message boards : Number crunching : Wow...I can cheat on credit! (Message 2791) Posted 10 Nov 2005 by The Gas Giant Post: Not that I condone this sort of thing of course, but..... Since Rosetta grants credit purely based on claimed credit (and a successful result I assume) then it leaves itself open to cheating for credit in a BIG way. All someone has to do is artificially inflate their benchmarks, which causes artificially high claimed credit and hence granted credit is also artificially higher than the computer should be granted! In this case the science isn't altered, but the kick in granted credit will be a magnet for the cheaters in this world. Live long and crunch. (ps. surely this has been discussed before).
