> As far as I know, none of the critics have a Fields Medal or Abel Prize in their closet.

Few years ago when Atiyah was publishing his 12 page proof of Feit-Thompson theorem Serre (both Fields Medal and Abel price) said this:

"I hope Atiyah's "proof" will not be published; I have seen it : it is hopelessly wrong." https://plus.google.com/+TimothyGowers0/posts/Troy62f3AS6

Those who have the level of understanding needed to understand and critique his work don't seem to think that he just makes normal mistakes anymore. The word proof was in quotes. Let them be the critics and let's not make news about this.
