Looking at his timeline, it is clear from his discussions with the ASI official account that he stills believes the two organisations to be linked in some way despite being told that there has been no connection between the two organisations for 10 years. I suspect that we will see this untruth come back around a few more times.

He is so certain of his own rightness that he never bothers to check.
