This very much reminds me of certain amateur communities on the old Usenet discussing physics and posting various crackpot theories. I don't know what it is about the topic that attracts this kind of person. Maybe it's just the asymmetry of the low effort needed to propose an idea, vs. the high effort required to refute it.
