Approximately 10x as many scientific documents produced in the U.S. as in S. Korea.[1]

Ratio of U.S. to ROK scientists is about 6:1.[2]

OK, so # of scientists isn't 10:1. But in terms of scientific activity, the U.S. is far and away more productive.

And I would still call it an unfair generalisation.

It's almost as if you are saying that some fraud is to be expected and is therefore fine when actually any fraud is wrong.
