Data Colada published Colada[139] ("Artificial Deadlines Part 2"), presenting evidence that the 25-year-old gradesheet behind the key finding of the influential Ariely & Wertenbroch (2002) paper on deadlines and procrastination is fraudulent. Economist Florian Ederer amplified it: "You thought the first evidence of fraud was bad? Wait till you see the new evidence. Fraud everywhere." This follows the team's earlier fraud allegations against the same paper.
