The Maddox guy, despite all his turns of phrase, is barely above being an idiot. He's a frustrated comedian.

Even though I haven't seen "Loose Change," and even though the idiot Maddox thinks Avery is an idiot, Dylan Avery is probably an idiot as well.

Please note that one can still be an idiot and know that there are no hidden images in the new twenty dollar bill.

Oh, as I'm reading, I see he's fond of calling people "idiots" as well.

It's nice if one has an education and can apply knowledge as Maddox demonstrates, but it doesn't mean a goddamn thing without the capacity to be a generalist enough to see the big picture. He deals with the small, specific, researchable picture. That's his domain. Why? Because he believes in nothing other than his smug selfish self and he has enough wits about him to mask his inner idiot and seem like he really knows of what he writes. The poor fellow longs to be an edgier Dave Barry.
