I agree.

Of course I have no belief in his entertainment value one way or the other.

I myself don't have beliefs. UNLIKE THOSE SILLY BELIEFISTS

Hence the phrase, "no matter what you think", because if you have no beliefs, you're not thinking, silly.

Leaving aside the Chopraesque bullshit, I gotta tell you -- if you're going to insist on using unusual words, do it well. I now know you've read the word "albeit", and I now know you're not worried about using it in an Internet post -- but I also know you don't know WTF it means, given the redundancy at the beginning of the quoted sentence.

This leads me to believe that you're pretty big on gussying things up in order to sound smarter than you actually are. As a result, your message gets undermined.

Programming god? Perhaps. Linguistic knave? Almost certainly.

Communicate your thoughts clearly, or up your dosage of Risperdol.
