Since when did scientists start behaving like fundies?
Since the citation mafia took over and politics and Good Ol' Boy network connections started deciding who's hired to research faculty positions. Research ability means NOTHING and politics means EVERYTHING in the cosmology and high-energy theory community these days.
That said, the paper in question is a numerical general relativity paper. I'm sure the GR guys are working on this now to see if there's any merit. Those people are pretty good. They know what they're doing and haven't been corrupted.
