the problem of people that are not physicists commenting on physics.

I also noticed the problem of people that are not physicists commenting on physics. However I also noticed the problem with physicists commenting on physics. That is to say sometimes it is hard to decided who really is the top and who just seems like they know. Take for example Husserl who knew Physics of his time well. But that did not put him into the same league as an Einstein or Heisenberg. So when it comes to commenting and understanding Physics from a larger picture, it turns out that Leonard Nelson was probably a lot better than Husserl. Even though Nelson was not, in fact, trained as a physicist. [Nelson had an important point along with David Hilbert--axioms. Reason has to start from somewhere.] But that does not mean that Husserl was a crackpot. Rather, it simply means one has to recognize his own level of experience, not assume one knows more than he does. Too many smart people over estimate their own abilities.
