And if HA teaches people to question stuff instead of just believing what someone writes on the t'internet I'm not sure why that would be a bad thing.
Well, as said above it depends on the listener and the speaker. Each to their own. There are reasons why even speaker manufacturers (and I bow to their wisdom) recommend taking them off.

As for HA, that's the point, they don't encourage debate. They state 'this is right because we say so' and then if anyone questions it they are treated pretty much as a heretic to be publicly burned. Or in this case flamed. This is bad science, not good.

This is why the Hoffers are better. Yes they are totally nuts, but at least you can pick out some sense and points of interest rather than just 'I'm right you're wrong' based on pseudo science.

You've guessed it, they get on my **** at Hydro.
