     @jonny "New Zealand’s data had been copied from the Netherlands"

     Imagine a chemistry paper where they couldn't find data on a certain property of bismuth, so (without disclosing it in the paper) they used data about beryllium. Not because that's the closest element on the periodic table, or even anywhere near it, but because they're closest in alphabetical order.
