Or they're so incompetent that they get caught every single time they try it, which I highly doubt.

Basic criminology is to hide what you're doing.
Basic academic research involves publishing your findings and methods.
The idea behind one is to not get caught, and the idea behind the other is to allow other people to catch things that you've done wrong. The fact that we can find a few problems in decades of published work makes me lean towards the idea that it's actually working, not that the whole thing is a hoax.
