I give anyone credit who puts their opinions out there in public, selections etc, that can be a very high-stress thing to do and some people may accept the criticism better than others. Not to mention the more high-profile you become the more people are looking for any possible way to tear you down.

I don't know the man personally, but someone who does already commented in this thread that the theory was incorrect.
Let's leave it at that and not turn this thread into another mess.
