My cure for cancer is just as valid as your 'model'. My cure is to hold a teaspoon of Himalayan salt under your chin for 2.2 minutes each day and you will never get cancer.
I really do not get you guys. You come up with these silly, poorly thought out ideas based entirely on ignorance of the subject and then present these ideas to the public - it make no sense at all, unless you are just joking or you live in a fantasy world.
My current working hypothesis is that it is impossible for these kinds of people to admit they are wrong. Even when it is pointed out to them that they are, they will continue digging to try and circumvent your proof. This continually makes their ideas stranger and stranger, until they end up in crackpotland.
Think back to all the crackpots, conspiracy theorists, etc. you've confronted. I suspect my hypothesis will fit many, if not all of them. It's the can't-even-imagine-I'm-wrong attitude that leads to most of the crazy stuff. They keep piling crazier upon crazy to try and fix their mistakes. It's not that they are ignorant per se, it's that they can't become more knowledgeable, because that would involve admitting their earlier mistakes.
Reiku is a prime example of this; he continues to build onto things he clearly doesn't understand, because he can't imagine he's wrong. He can't even admit to simple high-school level mathematical mistakes in his derivations! Yet he is convinced he is revolutionizing physics. This has to be, because his views are different from that of all respected scientists, and he can't comprehend the possibility that he's wrong.
Nebel has similar tendencies. For example, when he was confronted about the rights of an image he posted, he ended up giving multiple contradictory explanations why he was allowed to post it, eventually ending up putting words in the mouth of the original creator, who he didn't even know the name of, nor could point to. In his battle to show that he was right, he basically threw the original creator under the bus, at the same time claiming he thought the original creator deserved all the credit!
Another poster here is also good example. In his quest not to be wrong, he had to redefine fractals, wavelength, color, objectivity, subjectivity, light, photons, and many more concepts and terms. In the end, he basically invented his own language just so he wouldn't have to admit his mistakes.
There's no (constructive) point in correcting these people; they cannot understand corrections. However, this also results in the interesting situation that you can lead these people in certain directions. Demonstrate a problem with what they say, and give them an out; they will (have to?) take it. They cannot have made a mistake, so obviously your proposed solution was what they were thinking about all along. (This way, I once managed to get a young Earth creationist to propose extinction-level energy-releases (thus killing all life on Earth, continuously) to fix a tectonic plate issue they had. Aah, good times.) Nebel had to do this too; he had to introduce the concept of negative radius (yeah, really), because otherwise his earlier claims would be incorrect. It's fun watching these people then squirm to try and understand their own solutions. For example, Nebel never got back to me with a picture that showed an example of this negative radius concept.
In the end, there's little point in trying to get these people back on the right path; their problem can't be fixed by factual corrections. In fact, the underlying cause (according to my hypothesis) is a character-flaw so deep that it would be practically impossible to fix over the internet. So let's just make the best out of a bad situation, and have some fun while we're here!
