>Einstein was a patent clerk..... Picking a case you think supports your claim without checking the rate at which unknown author claims turn out to be true likely only undermines your claims. The proper metric is: is the rate at which unknown authors making big claims that stand up to further scrutiny higher than the rate for well established experts in a field? The answer is no. Crackpots litter all fields, and rarely is anyone at that level correct when the experts are not. As to Einstein, he was published in top physics journals before he became a patent clerk, and he published at least 16 papers (some incorrect) before his big 1905 paper, which was a few years into his patent clerk job. He was certainly not some unknown. Your case is nothing at all like Einstein's case.
