Bull, responding is pointless (unless a sycophant)! However, listening can be useful - if you are prepared to wade through the trash when he is tugging on it. That said it doesn't take that long to observe the entire repertoire.

To be clear, just because Bob appears to any observer as well read and is consistent in expressing his personal array (or list perhaps) of accepted precepts, it does not mean his feet contain no clay. His extant arrogance suggests denial much like an Emperor who ponces down the main street!
