>The TV Claimers meet a grisly end. We will not say any more about it. We want to be nice.
>Please: Do not stop reading. Yes we know that it is likely that no claimer really has such a proof.
I understand the author's frustration on the subject, but I don't think his disdain is warranted. This reminds me of the time Mehdi Sadaghdar, who runs the YouTube channel ElectroBOOM, disagreed with former MIT Professor Dr. Walter Lewin's proposal that Kirchhoff's Law is "for the birds".
Sadaghdar reproduced the results from Dr. Lewin's experiments, but proposed an alternative explanation about what could be happening. He created a video for Dr. Lewin, and stated that he was open to being proven wrong, ending that "either way, the science will win".
Dr. Lewin's response, instead of educational, was belittling where he generalized Sadaghdar as one of the group that holds to Kirchhoff's Law "religiously", and that he needs better education. The explanation was wrapped around in copious amounts of disdain. Sadaghdar eventually realized that they both fundamentally believed the same thing, and that their disagreement was only an error in communication, however, Dr. Lewin's videos are far more disliked than liked, and he didn't come out appearing to be the good guy from the exchange.
My point is, maybe generalizing the people you're criticizing, even though you "think the vast majority of claimers of P=NP or other big results have almost always worked alone" and comparing them to a group of people who die a "grisly" death in a fictional TV series, before you begin a lecture, isn't educational.
