Dr. Renfrey Clarke sounds like a fool.
This article does indicate that in addition to being "a qualified and highly experienced editor, a journalist, a specialist in international studies, a book editor, a secondary English teacher, a newspaper correspondent reporting from Latin America and Russia, a noted translator with dozens of titles to his credit in the areas of history, politics, philosophy and economics (as well as one who has lectured at the University of New South Wales and the University of South Australia)," Dr. Renfrey Clarke has indeed managed to add "fool" to his list of credentials.
