[notahacker]

Trying to comprehensively and radically replace a mainstream view by taking as the starting point the assumption that the entire mainstream profession is not only wrong but also malicious is far more often the modus operandi of the field's equivalent of homeopaths than the field's equivalent of heliocentrists...

[dmichulke → notahacker]

Comprehensive and radical are not sufficient to judge any idea, no matter whether the judgment is good or bad.

I just gave a counterexample to the suggestion of GP that it's a positive indicator of bad ideas.
