Let's say what you're saying is true, that Havas is a crank. What about 
Blank? What about the other scientists who've done work in this area? Do 
you know something they don't and can prove it or is this just your 
"opinion"? What qualifies you to dismiss their work? Is it "just common 
sense"? If so, common sense also had people doing some pretty stupid 
things in the past, like subjecting themselves to X-rays at shoe stores 
and smoking cigarettes because they were "safe".

A perfect example of how some scientists who were dismissed as cranks 
were eventually found to be right is the case of peptic ulcers. You can 
read about it here:
