it is painfully obvious he has little, if any, idea of what he is writing about.
So what else is new?
My inability to get through to hunchbacked used to bother me a little. Most Apollo deniers are obviously quoting whatever appeals to them with no understanding or desire to even appear interested in the facts; I heard "arguments" like theirs every day in the 4th grade. But hunchbacked is much more earnest. He does his own "research". He's far more polite, though he has his moments. He rarely blocks critics. He actually has a (slight) sense of humor, occasionally depicting his (reasonably accurate) understanding of how we perceive him: a grinning idiot wearing a tinfoil hat.
I even got him to concede a few errors, and that led me to believe he might concede others if I simply explained things better, with references. (You know what they say about random reinforcement.)
But then I saw his complaint about AS17-145-22272 of the CSM from the LM during docking. His "incoherency"? We should see the side of the service module! I explained the obvious: the picture was taken through the LM's overhead rendezvous window which is closer to the overhead hatch/docking port than the CSM's radius. We are just seeing the CSM in correct perspective. He gave elaborate nonsensical "explanations" that had nothing to do with the CSM's geometry. I suggested a simpler way: just make a model of the CSM and view it with your eye close to the docking probe. He ignored it.
So I was already questioning his grip on reality when he put out his now-famous video about Buzz Aldrin's zero-G sandwich-making demonstration: "Buzz Aldrin" is an imposter wearing a Buzz Aldrin mask in a water-filled CSM, breathing through his headset wires, spinning a perfectly weighted can of paté.
I gave up. The guy is just batshit insane. His standard complaint, that honest engineers protesting against their CIA masters were encoding secret clues in diagrams of purposely unworkable devices, sounds an awful lot like Dr. John Nash's delusion that newspapers contained secret messages sent to him by the Russians.
Many of his recent videos demonstrate his remarkable inability to sense visual perspective but they're a lot less interesting than the technical ones.
So now I just have fun with him. (And yeah, I admit it. I play to the galleries.)
And he can be entertaining.His odd English vocabulary is another source of amusement. I wear the hunchbacked-awarded label of "disinformer" with considerable pride.
