This was a very interesting and odd piece. I appreciated how Kahn took it upon herself to delve into the works of cranks, which as she notes, can be pretty delirious. It is true though that many new theories keep surfacing about physics and dark matter and what not, and it is hard for us to know whether it's complete craziness or if it has any truth to it. Kahn did an excellent job of showing the two extremes of cranks while also including those in the middle. Her writing style was very straight forward, but also revealed to the reader that she thought some of the stuff was pretty bizarre, too.
