Ohh Aurel, don't let the facts come in the way of Slackers crusade to teach us that whole world is against US.
It's like explaining Big-Bang to religious fanatic. Facts just don't work...he already decided that he's right and no amount of research an/or evidence will make him change his mind.
Internet allows you to publicate just about everything, and normal process of scientific review doesn't apply. This is gold-mine for fanatics trying to "convert the infidels" beacuse there is a sea of dubious data that can be used as "proof". For a layman, all those articles look like proper scientific articles. If you don't have any menas (or in Slackers case, interest) of researching the background then it will look like "proof of what you always been suspecting".
There is great "info" in internet for every loon and conspiracy freak so most of the times it's just easier to let them play and do their "thang".
