The laws of physics are like the word of god, if you want to be religious about it. Try to break them or wiggle around them and see where it gets you. But yes, there are those who always think to be smarter than everyone else. Actually, when they wave around with money to convince you of that, it's about the most pleasant way to interact with them. Some have much more painful ways to demonstrate their superior intelligence.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

If anyone believes that they are smarter than everyone else and wishes to give me a large sum of money so that I'll believe that, too - I'll take it!
(But the attempt to persuade me with money shows that they're not so smart. )

Crook to me implies intent.
To me he was just deluded. He really believed in his own nonsense.

The epitome of drinking the Kool-Aid! I even have the Kool-Aid recipe:
- surround yourself with yes-men and sycophants
- fire everyone who disagrees with you
- fake it till you make it.
Not surprising, that works pretty well also in the political arena.

He was definitely passionate about trying to get people to "sign up". People weren't approaching him ... he was chasing them down.
