Correct. He is using a joke vehicle to study us, like we are little bugs. 
Something like White mouse for his learning-from-trial process, from which he can launch new new new rank system, which has potential to completely control spammers, account farmers to rank up (just my hope). lol. Anyways, I was just reading this Cointelegraph's article and sadly it doesn't mention the awesome April Fool's Joke delivered by Theymos. https://cointelegraph.com/news/april-fools-day-rundown-nerding-out-on-cryptocurrency-pranks-and-jokes
It mentions the joke on Bitcoin reddit, but not Bitcointalk. Why? Why? Tell me guys.
