There's a line with this sort of stuff, and the crossing of it is what I have an issue with. If they presented it as an attempt and asked for critique, then this would have been a fine thing to publish. They would have got chewed out by a professional, fixed it or removed it, and everyone would go away learning something new. The issues comes when they don't accept critique, and make claims that don't stack up in actuality. Doing that is how people get hurt.
