Lets see... What would they say? This is the one-sided conversation, since it doesn't matter what you say anyways.
"Ok, we can accept that estimate."
"Ya, ya, ya, whatever."
"We'll have that information to you by the start of the project."
"The information isn't ready yet, we'll have that by the time you need it."
"I thought we had that to you already. We'll have to check with the information source."
"The PMs have some changes."
"Here's the information, but there are some small changes."
"No, those are small changes, they won't impact the timeline."
"No, you can't have more time, we already made commitments."
"The PMs have some changes."
"What do you mean you won't have it in on schedule? You agreed with the initial estimate."
"You're going to stay here until it's done, I don't care how long it takes."
"I don't care that you've been in the office 30 hours straight, this is your fault."
"We're hiring an off-shore company to help you with the project. Get them up to speed."
"The PMs have some changes."
"Since we have the off-shore team, we need to cut your department back."
"I read an article saying Java is the future. Redo it in Java."
"What do you mean we're waiting on the off-shore company?"
"We fired the off-shore company. You're good, you can get it done in time."
"Ok, hire more people into your department, but we're only offering half the salary, and no more bodies."
"Why is this project so far behind? Don't you know what you're doing?"
"The PMs have these changes."
"Why aren't you done? We're weeks from the deadline!"
"You didn't meet the deadline. Don't you know deadlines are firm. We have commitments."
"I don't want excuses, I want results."
"You and your idiot team are fired. Get out of my building."

"We need you to come back and finish the project. We need it by next Monday, that should be plenty of time."
"Here's all the new specs. They should be easy to do."
"What do you mean total rewrite, it's only a few chances. You are an idiot. Get out."

He was a wise man...
That's simplifying the concept of falsification to the point of inaccuracy, or more appropriately in your case, an outright lie.
As to counter-studies, some fraud paper published in a Mexican pseudo-journal does not constitute the destruction of AGW.
I'm assuming such deals are now rendered unenforceable.
The FCC sucks. Allowing ISPs to openly and brazenly fuck over content producers and their own customers is worse. The ISPs brought this on themselves.
Won't the market solve this problem? ISPs with smaller limits will be at a disadvantage?
Mod -50 Simpering Illiterate Fucktard
The denier in question is a scientist, who has taken large amounts of money from the fossil fuel industry without reporting it in his papers.
I see. So the fact that the overwhelming majority of linguists believe French, English and Urdu all descend from a common mother tongue mean that the consensus proves Proto-Indo-European studies are false?
You're talking bullshit, and sounding like a simpering moron.
Oh fuck off. Jesus you're irrational.
Nobody questioning this guy is demanding he be jailed.
Fuck you're an idiot.
The difference is that no one is going to go to jail, and the worst repercussions are likely to be the researcher in question is taken to task for not reporting his funding sources.
Are you fucking retarded?
There have historically been branches of Christianity that believed the body was the soul, so I think the issue isn't quite as settled as you think.
You're comparing asking a researcher why they received large amounts of cash from groups with obvious and well known biases to AGW research to McCarthyism?
Why do you put so much trust in a person whose field of expertise is not atmospheric sciences?
The only possible interpretation of any research whatever in the `social sciences' is: some do, some don't. -- Ernest Rutherford
