12. It's an ego thing.

I remember how offended he was in 2018 when his moronic little dive submarine was rejected by the crew rescuing the trapped Thai school group. He got into a pissing contest with the expert who ridiculed his little project.

It was such a stupid idea. Anyone who has ever been diving knows how tight passages are, and how unrealistic it was to think a rigid device large enough to hold a student would be able to navigate the passages. But he was so certain he was right and everyone else was wrong.

That incident made it clear to me both how stupid - and ego-driven - he is.
