I'm starting to wonder if it isn't something that runs much deeper and he isn't even able to perceive his own mistakes. Look at how he tried to rationalize his misspellings by saying how intelligence is quantified is relative. It's as if he's incapable of accepting that he can ever make a mistake and when his brain is presented with one, he rationalizes it as not actually being a mistake but someone else's problem of perception.
It appears that his ego is built upon a house of cards and the fear of bringing the whole thing down prevents him from truly understanding his own capabilities.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
