PETERSON, J.,
concurring.
I join in the opinion, with this exception. Citing 3 Davis, Administrative Law Treatise 243 (1980), the majority states that, “in assessing the substantiality of the evidence or lack of it, variable circumstances may be considered, such as: * * *.” 312 Or at 418. The opinion then lists five “variable circumstances” to consider in assessing the substantiality of the evidence. Application of these factors leads to uncertain results, for the factors themselves are elastic.
*423I would state this rule: Where the claim and the finding involve conduct that would constitute a crime, hearsay evidence alone is insufficient to establish the conduct.
