Ah, but that's how you get your paper citations and number of papers up! I was doing a search once and I found this team that every two years for the last 8 years has published a paper with the exact same name, just based upon new extra-solar planets that have been discovered. And I was talking with a guy here at CU who got two Nature papers out just by arguing with Steve Squyers (the MER guy).
