Could you give an example of one that's particularly egregious? I've seen a couple that seemed questionable (based on my gut feeling, not any specific knowledge of the subject), but none that seemed as absurd as the crystal folks.

- zevyoura 14y agoYikes, this is just awful. I keep expecting James Randi to enter stage right and explain this was all some kind of test for the audience.

- entropy_ 14y agoI am speechless... What appals me the most though is the applause and cheers at the end, even one person -- that I could see -- standing up while clapping. As far as I could tell this talk was generated by a bot(something like this: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/) or something and nobody seemed to notice anything wrong. Just a stream of jargon strung together in what seems like english.
