Um...here's a little true story, the dialogue was very much like what I give
below.
Back when I was a student, Prof. George Abell (UCLA astronomer) told his
class about some of the odd experiences he had when giving public lectures
at the Griffith Park Observatory and Planetarium. As usual, after a
lecture, several people would gather around the lectern and ask questions.
But one of the visitors was "different".
"Are you sane, sir?" the man asked in an aggressive manner.
Not quite knowing what was coming next, "I suppose so, I haven't really had
anyone ever question my sanity", said Prof.
Strange man: "But can you PROVE that you are sane?"
Prof: "I don't know what you mean."
"Well, I CAN!", the man declared, whipping out an official document from the
State Mental Hospital in Camarillo, CA, and flourishing it in front of
everyone. "Tee hee!!" [A sort of mad titter, like satoshi above]
It was an official certificate signed by the psychiatrists at Camarillo that
he was no longer a danger to himself or others and was being released from
confinement.
Satoshi is behaving very much like that strange man, and making the same
sort of claim.
