"It's just a bunch of coincidences & circumstantial evidence piled together, and then people who don't understand how science works are compelled by it. If you're going to do science, you gotta come up with testable hypotheses; and then you gotta, y'know, TEST THEM. Instead they weave stories totally cut off from reality. That's what cranks do. They may be sophisticated and use jargon but it's totally disconnected from the process of science."
