Have you got any links? A quick search didn’t show up anything in that direction, only how important Mendel was for modern genetics…

He also got hilariously lucky in what he was doing. It’s worth a read into the modern-day reproductions (no pun intended) of his work to see just how unlikely he was to get his results as fast as he did.

This sums it up pretty well. Its, of course, not guaranteed that any fishy or particularly lucky happened, but it’s a lot simpler if it did

It’s now believed that he altered the data, since they fit the 1:3 ratios way too well for populations where each has a ¼ probability. Still, very good work considering he might not have heard of the scientific method.
