Well, he doesn't feel he has to. He imagines that science is like a
throne, and that at one time there was a Good King, and then there was
a Usurper. He views his neutrino "explanation" to be of the same
lineage as the Good King and so has proper rights to the throne by
default, because the Usurper has not demonstrated that the Good King
was not so Good.

His idea that a new theory has to demonstrate that the old theory was
completely wrong is ... well, wrong.

At the risk of derailment ;-) - it always amazes me that some people
feel the Universe has to conform to their specifications. Being such a
small part of it, I guess our wants and needs are pretty trivial ;)

why parroting information from the web will not teach you cosmology.
