Abstract
In the past few years, the results of various geophysical field studie s have become the object of risky interpretation in many publications. Authors - in perfect good faith - have misled their readers by deform ing geological reality. A concrete case in gravimetry shows not only h ow this practice introduces punctual errors but how it could alter the geological signification of geophysical results.
