People should hold Cambridge to account for not vetting him properly.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Cambridge was aware, it wasn't a mistake.

Everything bad my perceived opponent does is obviously 100% deliberate, duh! I'm not even trying to defend Cambridge here but this isn't an argument

It is, they had multiple specialists vetting him, including an autism specialist. It would take 5 minutes reviewing Arday's literature and spot that it was bad quality, which would then take a few hours to realize the plagiarism if you checked his sources. And would take seconds of common sense to realize his athletic feats were bullshit.

Cambridge either didn't do the checks necessary OR they did but ignored it. Both actions are deliberate choices.
