Is this the work of an independent crank?

Question

Accepted Answer

The distinction between a crank and a researcher is not credentials; it is falsifiability and the response to being wrong. This programme publishes its kill-conditions in advance, retracted its own headline result when replication failed (the alpha 2.24 estimate, corrected to 0.49 and documented publicly), reports null results alongside positive ones, and anchors every claim to dated, hashed, independently checkable evidence. Cranks do not retract; this record does.
