 And Linus Pauling got the Nobel Prize and went nuts over Vitamin C.
 In science, we don’t go by “this guy has a legendary reputation and/or
sounds like a credible witness, let’s believe him”, we go by evidence.

Indeed.
Also note that the two guys who won the Nobel Prize for the development of MRI - the /real/ inventors of the MRI machine - are both long dead.
But this particular crank is mad enough and influential enough to have a page on Rational Wiki, which is never a good sign.  (It seems he did work on improving MRI technology before he went bananas.)
