You've got a better shot at putting together a cogent critique than I do. It'd probably take me about about 18 months to get up to speed on the mathematics. And my advisors would be pissed about the cut it'd take out of my productivity for them.

    Since I work night shifts as basically a motion detector, I might as well try to crunch it.

    Yey for physics degree!

Sounds like you're a very expensive motion detector! I'm sure you get payed SO MUCH. But seriously, it's weird how the compensation for physicists is almost binary, or some sort of a Heaviside/step function right at the boundary of a PhD. Institutionalized scam or indentured servitude? I never can decide.
