Well, somewhere along the line I suspect there's a bit of "that guy was
nuts" in the reasoning for referring to him. But you're never quite
sure, when someone refers to something like that, if they were taking
him seriously.
Now, I was the one referring to that site - I admit, with some irony in
mind. Without any irony this time: I took my math degree 35 years ago,
so my basics might be somewhat rusty, but they are fresh enough to know
that such a treatise is not worth to be read on after the first page.
