 The Ig Nobel Prize can be very sinful if it seduces people with its "academic charm'' and ends up ruining their lives or causing them to take a detour in their life.

Science is not guilty. The culprits are the scientists who use up young researchers and easily fire fixed-term employees, pretending to be innocent.
