Due to these recent, highly publicized irregularities and ample
(snide) remarks I hear about them from non-crystallographers, I am
wondering if the trust in macromolecular crystallography is beginning
to erode. It is often very difficult even for experts to distinguish
fake or wishful thinking from reality. Non-crystallographers will
have no chance at all and will consequently not rely on our results
as much as we are convinced they could and should. If that is indeed
the case, something needs to be done, and rather sooner than later.
