What is this? Huge discovery that Tesla was a human being and unlike
Einstein who was the son of God?  There is no requirement that being
brilliant means you never have any wrong ideas. In spite of Tesla's
strange theories (like moon "bouncing" off the earth) he invented a
great portion of what became the 20th century. Most brilliant people get
by with just one or two great ideas and nobody worries about the rest of
their lives. So why are you so worried about "debunking" Tesla's
achievements? Why are you so scared of people looking into what he did?
