You don't have to be smart......or rich. There's this tendency to think of science as a bunch of geniuses in the room. Science is, in fact, something that "normal" people do all day. It's a 9-5. It's a system.
The average person may be able to do science, but not anybody.
For one thing, one has to have the wits, perceptiveness, and intellectual honesty to see and acknowledge that discovering reality requires a different set of techniques than wish thinking, and therefore one needs a verifiable set of techniques to exclude the pollution of wish thinking from one's procedures.
Drich is giving every indication that the wits, perceptiveness, and honesty, and therefore the nature of science, is forever beyond him.
