Shumsky’s monograph "Diagnostic errors in forensic-psychiatric practice" on materials of archive of the  Serbsky Center for 1962-1983, published in 1997 is provided as a striking example, and the attitude of the Serbsky Center towards it is also shown.

Keywords: systematic errors, a typology of errors, falsifiability, unfairness in science.
