					<description>[...] Another result of professionalization is the necessity of regulatory rules so that professional points can be distributed fairly. Without such rules professionals will cheat each other. So physicists impose self-regulation rules and define them to be essential rules of the scientific method.

					<description>[...] A commenter called Carol wants all editors of the wiki to be vetted. Again a professional will not trust another professional when it comes to publishing. Professionals will steal, cheat, lie and do whatever it is necessary to obtain an unfair advantage. All of them know this so what do they do: they try to establish industry-wide self-regulation rules.1  [...]</description>

					<description>[...] 1. Regulation of Academic Physics Industry. Academic physics is a professional industry just like law but it is not regulated. Doctors of Philosophy who are the practitioners in this industry define self-regulatory rules and then disobey them. By taking legal action against them on the basis of fraudulant reporting of experiments we will establish regulation in academic physics. The corporate side of physics is already highly regulated and fraudulent reporting is a punisheable crime. Only the Academic side is still unregulated. [...]</description>

					<description>[...] I have already written about the self-regulation rules invented by physicists.  Self-regulation rules never work. In fact the real reason self-regulation rules exist is to stop professionals from cheating each other. Professional Doctors create self-regulatory rules so that no professional can get unfair promotions over others. Self-regulation rules are not created for the advancement of science but for the advancement of Doctors. So peer review is not about science. Peer review is a self-regulatory rule invented to make sure that each practitioner gets his professional points fairly so that he can move up in the hierarchy. Even then every professional physicist complains about the system and favoritism rampant in the distribution of research grants. All these are symptoms of an unregulated professional industry.
