In regard to the comment about Hoagland being an alleged "nutcase"  I have to 
ask why?  Why is it that someone is  a nutcase when he or she looks to the 
extraordinary in hopes of  expanding human knowledge?  Was Gallileo a 
"nutcase"?  Yes, he was in his day a nut case, a heretic and in his own time 
an outcast because he chose "unpopular" realms of knowledge to delve into.  
Realms of knowledge that we today know of as science.  Why risk being an 
outcast?  The pursuit of knowledge.  If we rest on what we have learned and 
think we are experts, if we sit by and point fingers at everyone who does not 
hold the same view of the world or universe the same as we do then we are 
confined to an infinite loop of blindness.  Before we point fingers and laugh 
or make fun of someone simply because someone else tells us he or she is a 
nutcase perhaps we should look more closely at that persons  research.  In 
time we may find that our place in our perceived universe may not be as 
special as we might like it to be.
