I had thought about that when the commercial started up after that part.
The only theory I could think of is that our X-o-phile was worried about
Scully and the madman, and decided that it was the madman...Who knows,
he possibly was going to talk with him, right after he got wiped.

(And where IS Scully, anyway? Having great experimental whoopie with
aliens, or being tied up naked by the Gov't? Hmmm...)

(It's a thought, though.)
