It's not what, it's how. Method draws the label. How to define the term kook? It's complicated. Another attribute is that the (tentative) loon spends significant time trying to convince others. It could be the PhD in the next office. It could be the janitor. It could be someone from another discipline, like Weggener.

Thats fine, but I fail to see where we have evidence of that in the article above. I can't see any difference between Rouse and the above really.

One difference I see is that Rouse had an iron core, Manuel has a neutron star core.
