Your thoughts sound entirely intelligent and sensible! I'd agree that 'crook' can mean 'to bend' (and this verbal interpretation might even be the initial interpretation)...

Welcome to the world of American copywriting! I have to deal with this every single day! Interesting article - not sure I fully understand it (you are much, much smarter than I am.)
