You can't tell his "certain - certain proved no doubt" knowledge from his "I'm right because I always think I'm right" knowledge. He is USUALLY right, but he sounds just as confident when he's wrong. And he wonders why anyone can doubt him ... I believe his information, but I also know he can be fooled, when Fleiss really, really REALLY wants to - and as long as Fleiss misleads the guy on one ending in ten, people will always doubt the spoilers.

It's called intermittent reinforcement in psych circles. It results in behaviour that is difficult to extinguish.
