Dr. Ron Polarik hasn’t been seen much in these parts since the outing.

The outing of what?

Polarik is unqualified to make the representations he did, particularly in the way he did. It's problems are self-evident if you've ever worked with people who do forensic document examination. They've been debunked on multiple occasions. Here's one example from a guy who actually does this sort of thing for a living, with real credentials:

Also, Polarik was finally identified: “The identity of “Ron Polarik” has been found to be Ronald Polland, PhD of Florida. Dr. Polland is an ardent supporter of Israel, and has no academic credentials in image analysis.”

That's what's so clinical about all this nonsense. Birthers start with the answer and simply latch on to anything that supports it, no matter how obviously ridiculous. And they repeat it forever because facts don't mean anything to them.
