The thing about Mike is that he doesn't post about stuff he

confidence as arrogance because nearly every article he writes
comes backed by authoritative information. He knows his stuff
and he doesn't care if people know that.

Also, like many academicians, he doesn't suffer fools gladly.

He's not for everybody, but who the hell is?

The fact is he is no more infallable than anyone else, but he is one
who sems to think it is some great faux pas not just to admit his is
wrong when he is wrong, but to even accept that a credible conflicting
view is credible. He suffers fools gladly, so long as they don't
challenge his "image", and most glacly if th affirm his "image".

Wow. A self-descriptive paragraph..

Face it Prof. You have very little credibility. People are going to
give Mike the benefit of the doubt over you because he hasn't made
exaggeration his forte, as you have.

So, you admit to being wrong about a hockey player's number. Now go
back and think about the impossible number of rounds you claim to have
played, your ability to make shots that pros make, and that you are an
expert about jazz. Those are just a few off the top of my head.
