I'd say he actually got off easy. Under Federal Code every falsified data point (yes, just one point) can get you $65,000.00 fine (might only be $6,500.00 I'm not quite sure), and 10 years in prison. This is because falsifying data to for a federal grant is equivalent to lying directly to the government.

It's funny simply becuase it is. I enjoy the more scientific humour of the show. Things like winning by a quantum difference (I know I'm misquoting this) being responded with things like: "No fair! You changed the result by measuring it" It adds a humour for the physicist in me.
