They're professional liars. That's actually how Trump got elected. Enough people thought he was "a breath of fresh air", "not a politician", etc, etc. People thought he was blunt but not a liar. Turns out he's both .
How thoughtful and/or intelligent they are means absolutely nothing. They're all (or a sufficiently large percentage of them to justify using the word "all", it's a rounding error) corrupt through and through.
No benefit deserved. They left very private information in a publicly available space. They can't even claim "Well now we know!" because several other high-profile cases with exactly the same problem have filtered through the news recently to serve as a lesson and example to everyone.

After all, could you cite something you don't know about?
Don't be dense. You would search material during your research phase to find previous work to build upon and then cite that work when you publish. Not everything cited is "well known", not by a long shot.
All it would take to slow this tide of stupid is to fire a few batches of cops for their illegal behavior while wearing a badge, behavior that costs the taxpayers millions. This crap would come to a near-halt. Then we might only have to fire half a department once every few years to keep it in check.

Re: "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning."
Abolishing copyright will make the problem worse. Copyright was created as a way to protect a creative work while, at the same time, sharing it with the world. Prior to copyrights creators would keep all of their work as secret as possible. Those who could not (authors, etc) were discouraged from creating as their work effectively became public domain at the moment of publication and there was no way to earn from their own work.
Copyright just needs to be returned to sensibility. A short period of "ownership" and then the world is free to build upon it as the original Copyright bill intended.

The same is true of patents.

Re: Re: It's even worse
Lack of a central, well-known location for researchers to find the papers. The journals are banking on their repos being too well-known to usurp.
