If we want to go all ad hominem (on Papp,) we could throw in Feynman's sleazy advice on how to pick up sluts in bars, among other stuff. He was a great man but far from flawless. Infinite Energy ran a story that claimed that Feynman's account about the Papp explosion was itself false, as per a surviving witness. Also, that the Dept. of the Navy had already tested Papp's discovery for its extreme explosive potential and was astounded. I also note Graneau's careful work regarding the cause of thunder in splitting N2 and O2. Given that, I see the Papp legacy as worth pursuing, regardless of submarine hoaxes.
