I understand your point, but I believe we have overwhelming evidence of
both. Bobby is a classic newsgroup troll who desparately craves
attention. Lying is an excellent way to get attention, although it
normally means suffering considerable ridicule and insult in the
process.

But I also believe he's rather unintelligent (as most newsgroup trolls
tend to be). He has shown a remarkable inability to absorb and integrate
new information presented to him. There's no indication he reads
anything outside of the few newsgroups he spends countless hours posting
in. And he has shown a breathtaking lack of self awareness and maturity,
whether about his ridiculous physics kookiness or his puerile religious
nonsense. Taken together these point to someone suffering from mental
illness combined with a serious cognitive impairment, or as I prefer to
think of it, he's a fuckin' moron...
