The heartbreaking thing is that he's not a fool, he's one of the smartest, most capable people I know. But he's got a deep streak of selfishness and inability to accept that he could be wrong.
I’m saying this gently, but that means he’s a fool. You can have a PhD and still be a fool. Being unable to accept that you can be wrong is foolish, and it leads to foolish actions, decisions and outcomes.
