  2. Joe's a pretty smart guy, but his training doesn't cover this stuff or much science or math. This was especially obvious when he interviewed Neil deGrasse Tyson, who amazed him with well-known facts from standard undergraduate course that Joe, in his ignorance, didn't know. To someone who DID know the math/science, Tyson's "amazing knowledge" was garbled and often totally misstated, but Joe didn't know any better.

  3. I read some books about psychics back in the '70s. It talked about the tricks that the "psychic community" used to convince people they were psychic. They'd build files on their intended victims before ever having them in for a reading. The more "secret info" they compiled, the more convincing they were. They'd even share those files with other psychics. "We got a live one, Tommy! He's obsessed with his dead wife. I'm sending you the file." Famous physicist Richard Feynman did similar tricks, including cracking safes, not by being a safe-cracker (although he learned many practical methods for lock-picking), but by using every trick in the book to obtain lock combinations (actually permutations. All "combination locks" are permutation locks, because the order of the sequence of numbers matters.). He'd pick the lock on your desk and find your list of passwords/lock combos and then amaze you, later. The whole trick was stealing the information without the target knowing.
