You are NOT THAT SMART.

I feel there is a chance that El Mat is a genius or at least deeply insightful at times. I've thought some more about his previous comment:

You know the man had a life and then that life disappeared and [this] had [a] deep impact [on] his mind. Usually people who lose their life style blame someone for that.

I always try to come up with a working theory for people, and El Mat hit on a major point that I did not initially appreciate. If Maurice is really blaming people for the loss of whatever life he had at BP, then maybe we could explain his distaste for well-educated women with power because he lost his previous position at BP to one. I get the sense that he doesn't have a relevant college degree and he was replaced by a much more competent women. For a racist that would be galling even if she wasn't a minority. I'm just spitballing so there could be lots of variations. I realize this is a "just-so" story but I'm going to stick with it until I get some counter-evidence.

I am not that smart either !!!

FWIW, I think you are plenty smart. Sometimes I reach back 10 years to read your old posts.
