A signature of those who would serve no other purpose than to derail what we do here resides in the certainty with which they make new claims; or old claims that are firmly based on new "yet to be tested" theories. Rarely do the disingenuous present their case from a non-absolutist position. It is signature because it is predictably a part of human nature that veteran researchers will take exception to such a presentation if for no other reason than the offensiveness of that initial introduction.
While it is true that "offensiveness" has no bearing on truth, still, if the purpose of making a presentation at all includes persuading others of that truth, then it would seem reasonable that the presenter would allow for human attributes that are clearly to be expected. When one does not make such allowances they are either hopelessly socially impaired or their intent is not to share their findings in discovery of the truth, but rather their intent is something else entirely.
What would that intent be? It is evident in the fruits of their labor.
