Which is why I point out that he is a PATHOLOGICAL liar, that is a liar 
who lies because he doesn't understand the difference between truth and 
falsehood.

He show evidence that this pathology is at least in part, 
self-inflicted, as he has deliberately chosen to not study the fields 
out of a fear of being "brainwashed" into their false-ideas (which just 
shows a funndamental lack of understanding on how logic works).
