Just to clarify, are you saying this “nut” is associated with Scientology?
Thornhill is in no way associated with Scientology. Rosenfan is engaging in a standard tactic of debunkers....red herring arguments and ad-hominem attacks.
No, not at all. It was just the first example of weird beliefs that came to mind. It could just as easily been ESP, astrology, creationism, etc.
