Trying to figure out why people do what they do. I think your analogy is apt. That's like asking why sports stars take performance enhancing drugs. Another comparison may be to Bill Clinton's recent "excuse," i.e., because "I can." My own personal feeling was that it was all part of a self-fulfilling enterprise. He, and his supporters, claimed so often that he was right on 100% of his calls, (and in pretend real time), that they HAD to be right and any edge was taken to continue the enterprise. Instilling confidence in the flock to follow the never wrong calls and instilling fear in longs with the mere mention of their holding, was the real motivation for grabbing whatever it would take to appear infallible. In a way, it's a pattern of extortion. It's very little different from the tout letters we all receive claiming that these writers guarantee that you will participate in their miraculous picks. For those who are in, unlimited wealth as quid pro quo. For those who are not "in," ultimate defeat, humiliation and losses. Insanity by reason of a calling to be a deity may have been a better defense than the Batman defense.
