So, my guess, is that he likes to be the burr in our saddle, not in a good sense in which someone finds examples that might provoke further thought, but in the worst possible way, by merely telling the rest of us he deserves to be placed in the pantheon of great thinkers, having discovered a truth that we should be breathlessly listening to.
I was wondering earlier if his method of introspection and his inability to find an answer is an appeal to ignorance of some kind.
