You're missing the point. This guy is a loser with nothing to aim for, so
s/he clings on desperately to the first half-baked garbage that makes her
feel good. Just like with loser plutonium, whose life has been one failure after another, lies to him/herself about atom stupidity, lest he has to
deal with himself, his life.
