Do you have any doubt that it's very easy to get fraudulent work accepted?

I do have uncertainty over how much of a boost you can get by engaging in fraud.

I'm not sure whether paper acceptance in journals is the only factor that matters here. People who engage in fraud have to hide it from their colleagues and might lose reputation when their work isn't replicated.
