I think you are missing the point rather. Let me put it this way: did
Newton's theories about alchemy disqualify him as a scientist who discovered
the laws of gravity? Did Pascal's weird religious mysticism disqualify him
as a mathematician? Does Bartlett's arithmetic not count because Bartlett
has unaccaptable ideas about population? Don't think so. If you think his
arithmetic, what show the unsustainability of capitalisms's energetics-base,
is 'interesting' what do you propose to do about it, other than change the
subject?
