(17) Höfele : Shakespeare doubters have lost their balance Höfele part2

English Professor  for English language and literature in Munich 

declares [Anti-Stratfordians] as mutated "ghost searchers", "deviant visionaries" or "Spökenkiekers"  



Andreas Höfele, Professor  for English language and literature in Munich, former President of the German Shakespeare Society dealt in a lecture (2003) on the skeptics, who feel not able to recognize William Shakespeare  from Stratford  as the author of the works.   - His presentation revealed that he considers the doubters as a category of people who seek a playground for hunting the non existent ghost.

Because of his lack of doubt (identical to most academic experts)  he never felt it necessary to do some own investigations on unsolved scientific authorship questions
. In his synopsis, he formulated vividly that ..... those who search for him [Shakspere] have  mutated into "ghost searchers", "deviant "visionaries" or "Spökenkiekers"  These minds  ......have lost their balance.... 

May it be that doubters have not lost, but not yet found their balance?
Since the main impetus for a Sciencist is doubt, you will not call HÖFELE a scientist,  but  perhaps a medicre  novelist ?
