I was hoping John may figure that out Raymo...so many folk say in effect .."he is a scientist so his opinion is worth having" ..in effect..er well no..like everything science has various specialised fields and really if you are not working in a particular field your opinion is no better than a layman's..like why would you think a guy working in General Relativity should have any cred in say climate science...in law as with medicine you have your local lawyer or doctor who basically has the job of reasonably identifying your condition ( or legal problem) then referring you to a medical specialist or in a legal case sending you off to see a Barrister who does that work day in day out..like would you send a client going thru a divorce to a workers compensation barrister?

But most folk just do not think..heck I am a mug and I seem to not be taken in by internet cranks...first ask..who are they, what are their qualifications, what is their area of specialisation, have they written any papers, why the need to host a youtube channel? Having that need strikes me as suggesting some lack of self esteem which one must always wonder about.
