As a reader, if one or several experts came forward with this blog, I would skip the analysis and read the political rant, keeping in mind they may have the benefit of the doubt on the analysis. Not ‘believe’ per se, but enough to consider it worth my time to read the political stuff predicated on the analysis.
When an anonymous author comes forward with this, I could do the same, but why would I? Political rants are a dime a dozen on the internet, so it doesn’t justify itself, and I can’t personally vouch for the author because I’m not an expert in the field.
If you have the expertise to validate the author’s meta meta analysis and actually want to do so, then I applaud your benevolence and envy your free time. When I was in my 20s I did this with P vs NP cranks on Reddit. I spent hours reading random people’s algorithms and pointing out flaws. In retrospect I don’t particularly feel like it was a good use of my time.
