I'm curious about the word "hooey". Was this ever the scientist's term or was it used by the writer as a means of labelling him "out of date".

While it appears in quotes in the headline, no where is it directly attributed to the scientist in the article.

Some sources say hooey means nonsense, others say it means bullshit
