Then why don't you discuss his science? If you did, I am sure the small
group would become much larger. Here is the opinion of a famous French
scientist who does discuss Einstein's science:

"De là a résulté une incroyable situation sans aucun précédent dans toute
l'histoire : la domination sans réserve pendant un siècle d'une théorie
fausse, la Théorie de la Relativité, résultant elle-même du plagiat
indiscutable d'une incontestable erreur. Les conséquences néfastes qui en
ont résulté pour la science ont été incalculables, l'orientation totale
pendant un siècle de la science dans une voie erronée, et une régression de
la pensée scientifique qui n 'a cessé de constituer un obstacle
insurmontable sur la voie du progrès."

"An unbelievable situation without precedent in the whole history has
arisen: The unlimited domination for a century of a false theory, the Theory
of Relativity, resulting itself from the plagiarism of an incontestable
error. The harmful consequences for science which resulted from it were
incalculable, the orientation of science in the wrong direction for a
century, and a regression of the scientific thought which has not finished
to constitute an unsurmountable obstacle on the way of progress."
