Yes. I don't think there's every been a theorem that could be classified as maliciously misleading. And even if the author didn't mean to make it sound malicious, the grandiose language is unbecoming of an academic article.

I disagree, showing a bit of irreverence is not a tell-tale sign of being a crackpot.

Also, having misled a community do not imply having done so voluntarily.

I don't see the text you quote in the actual paper. Here is a link to the paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1209/0295-5075/134/100...

The authors of the paper didnt write that. Thats the article's words.

The article's author is the paper's author as well.

Nice lol. My bet is on crackpot then.

The article author is the paper author.

that's the science journalist writing for sciencex, not the author of the paper.

Yeah this was hugely inappropriate. On the bright side it is a good way to know it's bunked.
