Well I would say ask John Nash he developed a theory on game strategy. But in order to answer that question properly we need to take in their back round of mental problems and the great difficulty they have in facing the truth about any subject. Also lets not over look the very limited options they have in running a lying mind control cult that prays on peoples end of the world fears. And lets not forget about the subject of severe brain shrinkage due to the fact of being in the mind control cult for most if not all their lives and years of spouting this bull shit out of their mouths defending or in agreement with, has had on their ability to reason properly.
So yes they are desperately pulling this shit out of their own ass because their options are so limited and their brains are so faulty and senile.
