Why would Roberts write something that seems so strange and illogical? It is almost as if he wrote something really bizarro to attract attention and to let everybody know, in a coded way, that he was being forced. For this thought to enter my mind just shows how very tortured his explanations seem for a supposedly sane, thoughtful person. It comes across as in a mystery movie when a hostage is on the phone and says something the person on the other end of the phone will KNOW is out of place, such as “Tell aunt Mary I’m thinking of her” when there is no aunt Mary.
Occam’s Razor, Roberts is a moron.
