    Have you read the papers? Might be they're good, but rejected for dumb/annoying reasons. Exagerating about these things is a personality trait, not a mental illness. Maybe the papers are totally crank, but as I said, not immediately apparant

      Not immediately apparent, but as I said, going through their HN submissions and Twitter, it is apparent. Many upvotes and other replies to their comments in the past few months agree.
