It doesn't matter whether the book was found to be accurate, intellectually honest, scientifically rigorous or whatever. The very fact that Denmark has an an organisation called the Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty, and that that organisation has any legal power whatsoever is pure, unadulterated facist thought control of the lowest order. Heads up Danes: Root this organisation out of your midst or welcome yourselves to Orwell's 1984. You have been warned.

You should be aware that the US govrnment has a Office of Research Integrity, whose function is to check into the integrity of researchers receiving government funds. The Office has actually done a good job of rooting out scientific fraud and other dishonesty by grant recipients.

One of the most flagrant cases involved a researcher who published an elaborate report on "endocrine disruptors." It turned out that his extensive data tables were complete frauds. He had gathered no data whatsoever, but had made the whole thing up. His punishment? To be barred from receiving any more government grants for five years. He decided to give up science and go to law school, where his talents might be better appreciated.
