You might say "he's doing what makes him feel safe". But in reality, he is a total moron. Likewise , you can stay in your home when it is under a mandatory evacuation because you feel safe. Another case of being a moron. Sorry if that is offensive, but that's simply the facts of the situation.
No offense intended here, but I have and will continue to trust my own common sense, (as you said, that which makes sense), before I trust any "Expert". I have not successfully ascended into my 70's by doing what others have deemed necessary. I have learned that too many "Experts" in this world are primarily experts in in their own success, be that success notoriety, financial, or both. "Experts" and "common sense" are not always congruent.
