Lie Tumor

When someone tries all deceitful ways to cover up any previous falsehoods, or to avoid looking incompetent, inefficient, or untrustworthy in the face of difficulties or new ethical challenges.

An unhealthy number of senior math and science editorial staff in Singapore, who are shortchanging dozens of authors and their publishers, have contracted the lie tumor, as they selfishly take up key positions that are beyond their abilities or capabilities.
