No, he doesn't know who he is, since he considers himself to be the
only representative of the true heliocentric astronomy of Copernicus,
and the rest of us to be in such confusion as to be even further from
the truth than the geocentric followers of Ptolemy.

He doesn't realize that at least some of his criticisms of today's
conventional picture of astronomy are not consistent with the
heliocentric system of Copernicus, and would only make sense if the
framework of Tycho Brahe were right instead.

He _does_ know that the Earth orbits the Sun. But he seems incapable
of quite getting the consequences of that straight. I wish I knew why,
so that I could help him.
