If he was doing what you're saying that would do him credit. But I see it more as indulging in wishful thinking and gaming the funding system by promising vaguely plausible nonsense and avoiding the tough questions that would come with seriously engaging with the physics community. A lot of the writing falls woefully short of being a serious effort at science. It's more "wouldn't it be cool if" science fiction. The entire "attempt" to link the EMDrive to Bohmian quantum mechanics is just a grand amalgamation of conceptual confusion.
