I wonder where these were published. Any reputable journal should have rejected them outright since the authors are speaking outside their areas of expertise.

No way, any reputable journal would use a process of double blind peer review. The background of the researcher should have no bearing on the decision to publish.

The paper should have been rejected for being shit.
