Your criticism shifts as the wind.

Does it really? Do I have to repeat myself more? Is it against some unwritten rule to mention Bell curve prior which I have had from the start?

What is your purpose?

What do you think? Feedback. I do actually think he's nuts, you know? I also think he's terribly miscalibrated , which is probably the cause of the overconfidence in his foom belief (and it is ultimately the overconfidence that is nutty, same beliefs with appropriate confidence would be just mildly weird in a good way). It is also probably the case that politeness results in biased feedback.
