It seems that he is very active and kind of giving frequent signals, but apart from the effective antivirus, is there any particular reason to believe that his views are any better than others? I am just asking, as I have not bothered to research much

His opinions carries the crowd. Not because he was sure about those but because he is successful. He's words are advertisement even though it was only made for an interview. You can't buy his words, you need to research on your own so you would be incharge for your success. Buying his opinions would make him rich but I dont know about you.
