how about this scenario:
the structure really is as published, or very like it, but upon
refinement, R-factors were high, other indicators were dodgy etc. so
the authors were afraid to publish as is and made up a dataset to
support their structure - this would be a bit less bad.

somebody ought to be checking your structures ...
