I hate to say it, but before I read Hotson's papers I thought the work on sub-nucleon physics was amazing and beyond me. Now, with Hotson's perspective added, my brain nags me in the background that contemporary sub-nucleon theory is imaginary crap, built on a false foundation. The physicists seem to be trodding down a wrong path without ever looking around to see if their original assumptions could have been wrong. It makes me wonder where we would be today if these same physicists were working from a starting assumption that Dirac's equation is correct, and not to be fudged the way they have done so as to continue toward a solution they wanted to be right, but didn't fit Dirac's perfect equation (TOE).
