I guess every field has its conspiracy theorist. I've never seen one here though! "...a mathematical method of composition" is a common misstatement. Rules of counterpoint and harmony, etc, take music gifts and training, but are not math. It's musical craft which musically talented and creative people do. It does share with math that some have have notable gifts in it. (Is that the axe you have to grind?) All your other misstatements are very original!
