What a rigorous way to defend your position! Calling names!

I bet you are an infinitely good Cantorian ! Did you speak with God recently?

You got as much rigor as you gave. Disproving every wacky position with a careful analysis is impossible, nobody has that much time.

Indeed, there are an almost infinite number of crank theories because they don't require logic, evidence, or proof - just belief. One crank can churn out a hundred nonsense theories in the time it takes someone to validate one scientific idea or mathematical proof.

This has a corollary in the startup world: everyone has an idea, what matters is execution.
