(It is confirmed as a fact that PhDs base their research on works on other PhDs, as they don&#8217;t base their research on works of a non-PhD, so creating a stumbling block in the science. I broke brains of PhDs causing them not to do research in this field.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dependence of Google on academic peer review triggers the bug, namely a branch of science buried too deep in SERP results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is no reason to expect that this issue with any particular branch of science will resolve by itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above is probably the easiest way to exploit the vulnerability, I did it in a hard way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of burning my diploma, I was fanatically telling everybody that I am a religious fanatic, what forced me to leave the university not receiving any degree or diploma. By the way I did two fundamental mathematical discoveries. (In fact, I did <s>2 or 2.5<\/s> more fundamental math discoveries.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attacker&#8217;s gain is suffering (failing my project) for Christ and receiving a reward in heaven.
