This reminds me of a story I heard about a very advanced scientist who believed we were so advanced we no longer needed God. So, he challenged God to a contest. In the contest, God would make something, and then the scientist would make exactly the same thing, thus proving that God was no longer necessary. In the story, God concescended and took the challenge. An angel agreed to being the referee. So, God went first, picking up a handfull of dirt, and throwing it in the air. It immediately became a beautiful bird, and flew away. The scientist bent to scoop up some dirt to replicate this creation, but had to stop short when the angel blew his whistle and said “Sorry, you have to use your own dirt”.

He’s not connected with a university, just his own research institute. That might mean he’s just plying for bucks. Real scientists do the work, look for something to be learned, then publish when they find something. Some scientists might leave loose ends in a paper just to open debate among colleagues.
