I find it at least a little bit funny.
Alfred brings out the absolute worst in other posters. He is simply too poor a foil for making even the best sarcastic or critical comments truly shine. I'd rather ask probing, yet testy questions elsewhere. Just about any elsewhere.
Alfred wasn't always so ... Maddenstein. But his preference for bizarro science was always a large part of his belief system. AM started referring to himself in third cat after getting his butt kicked in several threads and then being booted for not being able to follow simple rules. It appears that he is now only allowed in Free For All, where the only rules are just to not pee in the community corn flakes.
Always remember that the pig likes it.

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
