Kyle does an experiment to test the effectiveness of a new type of fertilizer. He predicts that the fertilizer will make plants grow twice as fast as they would without the fertilizer. After the experiment is complete, Kyle's collected data show that the fertilizer only worked 60% of the time. Kyle decides to remove the data that contradicts his prediction from his published results so that his published conclusion will show that the fertilizer is 100% effective. The published results of Kyle's experiment

Kyle wanted to find the effectiveness of the new fertiliser. He believed that it would make the plants grow twice as fast as they would without fertiliser but this result was achieved only 60% of time.

Kyle should have reported this original result without altering it. This would have led people to work on the fertiliser more and improve its quality. Some agriculturists might have even looked for other better fertilisers to improve their crop production. But based on Kyle's false results all these people can be misguided to believe that the test fertiliser is 100% effective hence what Kyle did was totally unethical.
