-
that Ale is crazy allowed him to
-
build up a reputation that kept all these guys out,
-
but actually the argument is stronger than that.
-
Let's try and push this argument harder.
-
Suppose, in fact, that Ale is not crazy.
-
Suppose that Ale is the sane Ale, the nice, calm,
-
Ale we all know and love.
-
But we've just argued that
-
if Ale acts as if he's the crazy guy
-
then you're going to be convinced that he is the crazy guy,
-
so by acting crazy he might be able to convince you
-
that he is crazy and therefore keep you out.
