How long before an ignorant humanities scholar writes a book claiming that the "Rathke Affair" proves that all math is nonsense?

We have independent verification that math works, because it is used every day in millions of companies to perform a variety of critical tasks.

The targets of the Sokal Affair were on much shakier ground to begin with.

Whether Academia is full of shit is irrelevant to the validity of mathematics. That being said, the GP comment basically demonstrates a peculiar cognitive bias. A variation of a logical fallacy: "I'm not dumb, therefore I never do dumb things." Of which we see all too often grafted into politics: Viz: Science is objective, therefore my (self-interested political) viewpoints are also objective, infallible, and inevitably correct.
