Teddy, you bring up an interesting point: Why not just give the guy a break and grant him a patent.

Here's the deal: Scientific breakthroughs are made not so much when a single researcher makes a discovery, but rather when other, independent researchers confirm those findings. Einstein's theories were really just so much math until astronomers and physicists made observations that confirmed those theories. Remember Fleischmann and Pons?
