I'm even glad if some of these people turn out to be idiots. I get a bit unhappy when someone who doesn't appear to know what they're talking about (and who has demonstrated their ignorance) goes on to say that they've got some answer that other people should be listening to. When these people say "It worked for me! You need to try this!" all sorts of bells start ringing. Asking people not to push their uninformed experimental pseudo-science is not the same as asking very clever people to not be clever in other fields.
