That is 100% correct, and I know it. I've been watching kooks kook here
for some 25 years, it's sort of a weird entertainment for me as is trying
to talk common sense into them even though I know perfectly well it is
doomed to failure.

Several things very common for the kooks here (nearly all of them, not
just McGinn) are an 'idee fixe' (some wrong idea that they are obsessed
over and can't stop discussing, and it is impossible for any logic to fix
the wrong idea in their mind), megalomania/narcissistic personality
disorder, the Dunning-Kruger effect and delusions.

Start off with a wrong science belief, add the others and poof, you have
a classic physics crank.
