Quote:I have never seen that discussing any of the above theories brings anything.
I struggle with this in a general sense.
On the one hand, the proliferation of nonsensical theories starves potentially fruitful theories of oxygen. So, it makes sense to focus efforts entirely on what's fruitful.
On the other hand, when experts ignore this proliferation, the entire field suffers due to broad acceptance of nonsensical theories by the "lay public" depending on which of the theories seizes the popular imagination.
In my other research, I find myself drifting away from analyzing claims by specific people, and more towards highlighting the common mistakes shared by them. It is challenging, though, because any question lacking a solid answer is a vacuum that attracts endless speculations that few people feel disqualified to offer.
It seems every field of study is plagued by this problem. Here's a good example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
