Well, "abound" is questionable - but, yes, many "profound and falsifiable"
claims have emerged from fairly foolish behaviour, as the history of science
[e.g. role of lab accidents] shows. But this is probably not the sense
intended, given it might raise an interesting set of questions and not merely
foreclose debate by abuse. In the sense intended, the right reply is perhaps -
following Cicero - "As a blind man can throw a spear into his mother, even a
fool or a knave can parrot a proverb".
