A person who falsifies, forges, or intentionally distorts information, documents, or the truth.
From 'falsify' + '-er' agent suffix. More modern than 'falsificator,' reflecting how English shifted from Romance-derived formal terms to Germanic-based ones.
In academic fraud, falsifiers are now caught using statistical analysis—scientists can detect when lab results are *too perfect* to be true, because real data always has natural variation and mess.
