So if one doesn't do 'faulty, fraudulent or highly defective' research all else is fine?

Where's the limit @royalsociety.org? There's much to choose, including
Destroying and defunding research/infrastructures
Hundreds of thousands of deaths
Monetising creation/distribution of child abuse images
Paul Nurse, interviewed by the FT about whether @royalsociety.org should expel Musk said: "the institution should only expel fellows if their science proved “faulty or fraudulent or highly defective”". That implies the Society's Code of Conduct is utterly meaningless.
