the obviously correct statement he actually made

The statement he actually made --taken literally and ignoring the poor example komponisto had chosen, as the “someone like” makes clear that it was intended to be just an example-- is that the word he would use for “someone who cares not at all how they fit into or are perceived by human society, except as instrumental to gaining whatever (non-human-relationship-based) thrill or fix they are after” is “fictional”. How is that “obviously correct”?
