I think it's pretty easy to identify the loony crowd, whatever you choose to call them. They take positions that defy reason. Well, sometimes "reason" depends on the one assessing the "reasoning." My argument isn't about whether the reasoning outcomes are "reasonable;" rather it's about the underlying psychological hold on them, one that defies data, sometimes unconventional data. My discipline is/was full of such. New configurations of data and their interpretations are sometimes resisted, strongly. And those mainstream researchers get pretty obdurate in their resistance.
