  Comments:
Reordering glosses.
I don't think we need a separate noun sense. Noun usage is really uncommon (there are no examples in the JEs or kokugos). Also, "crank" is not correct; there's no "その人" meaning in the kokugos. That Tanaka sentence is not a direct translation.
変屈 is so obscure I think we can drop it.

  Comments:
I approved the change proposed by Robin, but I note that GG5 leads with noun glosses and of the two Tanaka sentences using the term, one uses the noun:
彼のような偏屈を理解するには一生かかるよ。 It will take you a whole lifetime to understand a crank like him.
Also Eijiro has one gloss.
This may be an occasion where we have both.
