I'd expect him to notice math errors and he specializes in the aspect of QM that I talk about, regardless of job titles.
Job titles aside, I think you had an incorrect model of his intellectual background, and how much he knows about certain subjects (e.g. general relativity) as contrasted with others (e.g. P and NP). Also (therefore) an incorrect model of how others would view your citation of him as an authority.
That said, I think you were right to think of him as an authority here and expect him to notice any important errors in your QM sequence.
