Someone has proposed a scale of scientific credibility:
> 10.0 Richard Feynman, Niels Bohr: The standards.
> 9.0 Albert Einstein, Steven Hawking: No experiments, no 10.
> 8.0 ?
> 7.0 Carl Sagan: [...]
> 6.0 ?
> 5.0 Andrew Weil: [...]
> 4.0 Hal Puthoff, Fleischman & Pons: [...]
> 3.0 ?
> 2.0 John Gray (Mars/Venus): Interesting ideas, thin on facts.
> 1.0 ?
> 0.0 L. Ron Hubbard, Creationists, Astrologers.
The cosmetic ".0" suggests a crackpot who confuses precision with accuracy.
