I don't know about "most people", but, for me, what I've seen of Hoagland's "contributions" to planetary science indicates a lot of speculation, and very little (approximating none) supporting evidence.

Should Hoagland provide some objective, verifiable evidence to support his claims, I might change my conclusions about what he presents.
