To be fair, science thrives on curiosity. I'd prefer we establish something was safe and have at the experiments.

So, disbelieve in part by trying to disprove. Win win.

Science is not being advanced by disproving crackpots. It's a waste of precious resource better spent elsewhere.

What's your definition of a crackpot? Someone who researches something varjag has a negative emotion towards?

Someone who maintains something is true while lacking any evidence of that. There's an infinity of possible untrue statements, but only finite amount of research resource. Disproving every crackpot theory doesn't advance actual science one tiny bit.

You'd be surprised. :)

Don't think I would.
