This was basically my point, he is either arrogant or uninformed which in both
cases makes his claim look stupid.

"I expect, as he gets older he concentrates his efforts on what he is interested
in."

Well then i suggest he should concentrate on what he is interested in and not
make wild claims based on either arrogance or ignorance :)
