He comperes writing styles, he calls government agencies, and he writes letters, sometimes even forming whole words. And when he's done, he pretends to know. Or at least, he knows where he stands in terms of obfuscation. He's rather tenacious about seeming to get stuff right.

Wikipedia, of course, doesn't do this much at all: depending on the day, they'll laud a link to a website as being absolutely useless (it's on the WEB, of course) and then the next minute link to a different website to back a "fact" up.
