Individual data points are neither here nor there. Science is quite specific and relies on one and only one methodology. Alter those standards by fudging an unknown element, and you can wear a white smock and project graphs on a screen all day..it doesn't matter, it's not science at that point,. So to answer your question, they are fake by virtue of manipulating data to nudge the conclusions in the direction that is beneficial to the research's continuation.
