Meh. Perhaps he views the discovery of organic chemicals in other solar systems, or the age and our place in the universe, or the thorough understanding of the likely fate of the universe, as essential to his theory. It can be so much, but I gather it is one of those people that view things in a very certain limited narrow way - like the mind of an old fashioned radar with a broken rotor.
I've encountered people like that in the past: He doesn't understand how the advancement of humankind can mean different things in different frameworks or how the discoveries of Hubble or the technologies developed in the Apollo program can have more implications and possible connections then the particular points they inspired for him. Such people can have very interesting perspectives at times with a lot of merit, but there are certain signs when they are there, and more transparently certain defensive strategies that come to play when they are not. So far, in this case there's only the later. It is the same kind of mental handicap that allows him to think of maturity as a linear process and thus easy measurement, which from sexabon comments I gather it's a handicap he likes to demonstrate a lot. I suppose exhibitionism comes in all flavors.

I was almost expecting an attempt at a spell correction victory or some other pathetic excuse for 1upmanship as a replacement for thoughtful investment and awareness, and it seems I got the later.
Anyway, you've made your choice:

The good new is that your choice can be undone - if you are capable of seen yourself within your own maze or have a portion of the maturity you pretend too, you can always stop to think about what you were actually doing and go back to review your choice.
The bad news is that option is available to you regardless of whether you choose to consider it or not. Every single portion of time in which you could have chosen to demonstrate that your theory has substance is another line on a chart where your name and 0% exists next to a time stamp, with the 2nd column marked "substance demonstrated". Tick tock, another piece of evidence against the theory that tw has something of substance to demonstrate got timestamped on the clock, every hour is an experiment to find signs of merit to your thoughts (or beliefs resulting from with lack thereof), and every hour that passes without it is another experiment that found nothing.
