Most theories that come out of the fringe are wrong. Hardly a point of any real contention to be sure. The world of kook science is populated by colourful wonks, unyielding grouches, the highly uneducated, the utterly mad, and, as follows, they're usually working from cues that do not correspond to what is known about the world.
Or so everyone tells you, but you know the truth: your alternative science is the way of the future, and you're going to show up all those nay-sayers by proving it once and for all.
Besides which, unlike the real kooks, you know what you're doing. Yeah. Mostly.
