   Why not take the guy at face value?  If indeed he is a wild mentality,   
   run with it.  Folks like the NSA would generously bankroll him without   
   hesitation, admittedly for a quid pro quo thereafter.  Feynmans,   
   Hawkings, Wittens... are out there, despised by the world and   
   hurting.  American zero-goal education exists to identify them and   
   destroy them by drugs, counseling (therapist, the|rapist), and   
   intellectual starvation and poisoning.   
      
   Let him do the Putnam Competition.  If he answers five questions   
   correctly, he's credentialed.   
      
   If he is a troll he will wither.  35 loathsome years of Project Head   
   Start, Title I, the Department of Education, and "diversity" are   
   eloquent proof that intelligence cannot be counterfeited, leased,   
   granted, redefined, or fiat created.  He can't fake it in front of   
   adepts.   
      
   The Severely and Profoundly Gifted glow nova bright.  Normals can   
   erect a facade but they cannot maintain a simulacrum.
