And thats how the cookie crumbles. A little sad to see scientists to lie out of their ass.
People outside the team could know about the research they were doing, they could feel pressured to release their results to prove ownership, in case someone else could try and claim the patent.
From what I understood the ones that made the initial discovery weren't initially trying to make room temperature superconductors and just kinda stumbled upon it and also might not fully understand either how superconductors work or how to test for it, and all tried to rush the paper out.
