This is all mere conjecture, though.

We had one of those locally. He contacted the Observatory, first by phone, later by lengthy letter, asking us to do all sorts of things for him.
We had one person that took the time to address all of his concerns, one by one, replying to a detailed letter point by point.
He was a poor, seemingly-miserable person, living in a tiny apartment on some sort of disability income. For some reason he bought into all the PX garbage, but I think we allayed all his concerns with logic and evidence.
Sad business, that was.
