It's just ignorance. My mother is totally averse to science and would probably believe a perpetual motion machine could exist if the huckster was confident and convincing enough. But I'd trust my mother with my life. There's a big difference between being stupid and being trustworthy.
Did you just call your mother stupid?
The problem with joerogers8 goes beyond that though. joerogers8 blatantly lies about easily provable facts and that's just for some stupid intertubes "opinion". Vod seems to think that such lies are also likely in a deal involving money.
In other words, joerogers8 is the huckster that's gonna sell a perpetual motion machine to your mother.
