@catahoula - When I say “crankery,” I mean something like this:
[Wikipedia - Crank (person)](Crank (person) - Wikipedia)

As for Snopes, well, who’s advocating “handing over the keys to the trust kingdom”? There have been a few “Snopes can’t be trusted” comments in this thread, but nobody’s come forward to actually refute any of the well-researched, documented, and cited claims on Snopes, and so until they do so–and do so with the rigor and documentation that Snopes provides–their views can’t be taken seriously and I consider them “cranks.”
