I was maintenance at a marine bio lab, made friends with the techs who work for the senior research scientists. They're made to create results in a clients favor all the time. In my experience it's treated as gross but normal, like an old man hanging out naked in the locker room. You don't get more grants if you prevent the client from doing what they want. It really put a tinge on my perspective of "commercial science". Even the government funded stuff came with "stipulations" of the results they wanted pretty often.
i doub these clients will read the actual research paper when they come out, and only the partial results.
