I think you are being rather optimistic here.  For example, QED, or the
standard model, is not known to be consistent.  Nor are they known to be
inconsistent.

Wait and see if it works before saying this.  (Naturally, my advisor,
Irving Segal, who disbelieves in a linear redshift-distance relation,
thought that the Hubble telescope was aptly named.)  

Of course I agree with the rest your post about Larson's system, being
a card-carrying orthodox physicist, hard at work at suppressing (or was
it ignoring?) his contributions to physics.
