“You got to make the assumption he had to have help at some point, and we want to insure that’s the answer. Maybe he’s a super guy, super hero–not a hero, super–I won’t use the word. Maybe he’s super — that was working out this out on his own, but it will be hard for me to believe that.”
That reads like insistence to me.
What aspect of the pre-planning do you believe could not be accomplished by somebody with a 100 IQ?
I’m not saying this guy didn’t have a 130, 150 or 175 IQ, but what particular aspect could not be conceived and executed by an average mind?
Definition: Someone's insistence on something is the fact that they insist that it should be done or insist that it is the case.
Doesn't comport with the definition of the word. He is not ruling out the possibility that he did it alone. He is not insisting that Paddock did not act alone just expressing some skepticism that is the case.

It has less to do with IQ and more to do with knowledge and experience. I guess the "average" person could take apart or assemble a swiss watch, but not without some knowledge and experience along with the right tools. People are trained to be snipers, assassins, spies, etc. How did this guy acquire this knowledge or experience? He started making major purchases of weapons in October 2016. What prompted that?
When Sheriff Lombardo with a great deal of experience and knowledge along with the evidence, some of which we are not privy to, makes the assessment that he believed someone helped this guy, then I take that assessment seriously. I tend to agree because this smacks of a professional.
