Viking_Hippie ,

why does the alternative seem disadvantageous to him?

Because he doesn't want to face any tough questions or people who don't worship him.

He knows more than we do about his costs/benefits.

Not really, no. Dishonesty and a lack of transparency is not the same as superior knowledge.

Again, not defending anything about him besides his self-serving calculus.

It's sounding more and more like that's EXACTLY what you're doing 🙄
