I 100% agree with Jordi Benach. However, the problem with idea is that
it requires the real images in question to exist. I am willing to

Since by taking bets, one simply prefers one choice to another,
and does not imply any attempt to pass any judgement to the issue
(Alabama lawyers might always be reading ccpbb these days ...)
I would like to also accept the same bets as ZO ;-)

Dear colleagues,
1) I think Ajees et al. should make available the raw diffraction
images of
the structure in paper that has caused so much literary commotion,
unless
they haven't already done so. Perhaps simply put them in an open
ftp server?
As I imagine, unless I have missed something, these diffraction
images were
obtained with grant money, so they should be available to the
community.
Isn't it?
This would allow other scientists to evaluate them as much as they
wanted
and publish many more papers about the validity or falsehood of the
conclusions drawn in the original and (now) infamous Ajees et al.
paper.
That's how Science -in my opinion- ought to be.
