I'm a fraud...

It doesn't. He said it's symbolic. He walked in the back door but his computer woke up, as if it were telling him, "I know your secret, I can always see you coming. You've been out spreading your fraudulent ideology again and you thought you could sneak back into your comfort zone through the back door as if nothing ever happened; but just know, I'm on to you. Thusly I quietly mock you with the unspoken knowledge that someone has detected you, you've been found out, and I could expose you at any point if I so chose. Sleep tight, Dave..."

Dave?

Family member or friend?

(Or did you quote that off Dave Barry?)

Dave, HAL, 2001...

It was a reference to the movie "2001," in which a computer went nuts and started killing people. The computer's operator, named Dave, was eventually trying to "kill" the computer to stop its rampage. Hearing the computer's ominous and eerily calm voice becomes a familiar and dreaded sign that it knows what Dave is up to. "Good morning, Dave." "I know what you're trying to do, Dave." "You're acting strangely, Dave. Is something troubling you?" And so forth.

So I thought it was appropriate here.
