I agree and think it is better to have some crazy and unconventional ideas than to restrain free research. While this is probably some misapplied statistical analysis, I hope the worst consequence is a harsh rejection based on methodology. Free research will and should probably also lead to crazy ideas once in a while. The status system in academia is pretty strong. This guy will face judgement among his peers.
