Fair point, but I think a "healthy" scepticism + a bit of humour (which=20
it is in my case - I certainly don't like to ridicule, can't speak for=20
others) is okay, and necessary in the pursuit of science (as, of course=20
is confidence to tread new ground, and not blindly stick to the beaten=20
path, not worry about looking foolish occasionally etc)
I wish best of luck to them if they are genuine.
Also, (unfortunately) there are far too many "scientists" today that=20
turn out to be alchemists tomorrow.. :-)
