I have no problem with a professor presenting the 'theory' as something that is floating around out there, then exploring what the psychological aspects of those who feel compelled to propound such BS are.

It would even be useful for a communications or physical sciences or engineering professor to present it, then show how to deconstruct and debunk it.

It is something else, that I do have problem with, to present and promote such a "theory".

It is akin to a black professor of history I had back in the 1960's, who presented such "facts" as the West Africans discovered the Americas, and had a thriving trade with the Aztecs/Mayans; that Blacks of East Africa were the founders & rulers of Egypt; that a black man discovered radio, and Marconi "stole" the idea from him, etc, etc, etboringcetera. Guess which views on tests & papers were required to pass.

Of course, Marconi stole the idea frm Tesla! So he was even "wronger"!
