There are indeed many opinions around. Here is one:

Calling someone a crook is simple but science is complex. It is often easy to find references
pointing in different directions (some may have their basis in statistical fishing expeditions).
If one says that a particular scientist is a crook some related criteria may help to define
the statement.
 
I intend to come back regarding the Ca issue.
 
My personal action only,
