Reminds me in some way of Fred Hoyle, renowned Cosmoligist as well as renowned Science Fiction writer.

He published the most bizarre cosmological theories. Being too famous to be ignored generations of cosmologists scrambled to disprove his models. In that process validating the more standard models. That's the scientific method. A problem only arises if interest groups and media single out those theories and declare them truth.

I am quite sure he did this on purpose just to keep them keen.
