His his wife is a Class A Woohead, into everything from homeopathy to chemtrails and ancient aliens, and she's very vocal about it. Either she's wielding tremendous influence or he's adopted protective coloring just to shut her the fuck up. I do hope it's the latter.
Remember the satire of General Buck Turgidson from Dr. Strangelove. Purity of essence. I think it was him, anyway. Everyone has this, at least in minor quantities. For me, at least at one time, it was single malt scotch. For someone else, it might be fine corinthian leather. The funniest rendition of that is Dos Exxquis "World's most interesting man". He once aced a Rorschach test.
