A close analysis of the presented material gives me a picture of a man who has a history of mental illness.
He also has a history of relapses and substance abuse. Furthermore, Ervin's claims of obviously flawed information (99.99%?) along with their denial creates a believable situation where Ervin may have imagined the entire event. This would tip the balance towards the doctor's decision that Ervin is mentally unwell.
If Ervin wants out and is truly caged by the state in an unjust manner, perhaps he should start taking detailed notes complete with locations and date/time stamps of everything he sees, hears, is told by these people.
Then when it comes to Ervin's word versus that of a doctors, Ervin can present something consistent and clearly documented.
But that's what a non-crazy would do.
