Nah you nailed it, I think JP is the type of person who did study all the requirements to get his degree, but as soon as he finished he never touched another book in the field. I'm sure he still reads but I don't think he reads anything relevant anymore. He strikes me as the type of person who found a sorta niche in his field and just never looked back or at criticisms. It did work out though, as much as the right calls out "liberal" academia, they froth at the mouth when they find someone in it who will validate their ideology.
