I think the question that interests me most is this: do they know?
​
Does Syamsu know he's a crank? What about Brad? Or Stephen? If they do, why do they continue? If they don't, why don't they?

Brad..since nobody here can understand a word of what he says I withold judgement. He could have the most bizarre form of dyslexia known and actually be saying something intelligent.

Interesting hypothesis. There is a Dyslexia related disorder called Dysraxia (not such about the spelling, only ever heard the word) which inhibits the ability to form coherent sentences only in the written word. Sufferers can be intelligent, and highly comprehensible in person.
