No. Neither did you.
Like I said, I'd never heard of this guy before, I've never drawn on this material as a reference, and I'm not doing so now.
I was simply irritated at the "oh, that guy's crazy" responses that are apparently supposed to qualify as a reasonable response.
I suspect you did the same thing RL and I did, which is sweep the internet for articles and criticism about it, and in R.L.'s case, cut and pasted something. I will readily concede that in RL's case, considering his background on the atmosphere and light transmission through it, he probably has a better claim to understanding it.
