Then the right thing seems to be to stress that the claims have not
been published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. It seems
perfectly appropriate to explain the claims of a kook group on a page
about that kook group. By the same token, it's inappropriate to
misrepresent those claims as having any kind of validity or
acceptance.
