When someone starts rolling on the floor and speaking in tongues, they are a crank.

Now some start by singing from a different hymnal. That's fine, scientists tend to want to improvise as it is. That is how you get cites, sort of like recs in a professional setting, and climb the ladder. But, as their ideas don't pan out, most rethink and a very few go full holy roller.

Those are cranks. Being a crank can be lucrative. Not Elon Musk lucrative, unless you can pull off magic spectacles, but solidly middle class with little effort lucrative. Which is why they exist.
