I, too, originally took the line to mean that Smith didn’t know what he was doing, like he was out of his mind, which played into the deranged speech he’d just given. Turns out I was reading way too far into it.
Oh yeah, that was a thing for a while. Feels like the same era as “eleventy-billion” and the rash of Fuck You internet recipes

So yeah, those guys weren’t idiots, but let’s not pretend they were special.
