The short answer is that they are unable to have their 2-digit IQ rantings published anywhere else, and this web-site has an open policy.
A more detailed explanation follows:-
The concept of the delusional disorder has both a very short history, formally, but a very long history when one integrates reports and observations over the last 150 years. The term of delusional disorder was only coined in 1977. This term has been used to describe an illness with persistent delusions,separate though from delusions that occur in other medical and psychiatric.
However, the concept of paranoia has been used for centuries. Originally, the word paranoia comes from Greek para, meaning along side, and noos or nous, meaning mind, intelligence. The Greeks used this term to describe any mental abnormalities similar to how we use the word insanity.

In the modern world, the term reappeared in the 17th century, and it was largely used as a generic name for mental illness. In 1863, Karl Kahlbaum introduced the concept of paranoia as a separate mental illness: "a form of partial insanity which, throughout the course of the disease, principally affected the sphere of the intellect".

This is the point folks!!:-
Delusional disorder is an illness characterized by the presence of nonbizarre delusions in the absence of other mood or psychotic symptoms, according to the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders. It defines delusions as false beliefs based on incorrect inference about external reality that persist despite the evidence to the contrary and these beliefs are not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture.

I will go on:-
Nonbizarre refers to the fact that this type of delusion is about situations that could occur in real life, such as being followed, being loved, having an infection, and being deceived by one's spouse.
