I think in all seriousness that he literally cannot understand. Richard's emotional interaction is very similar to that of some autistic people I have known. The recent spat over Turing completeness started when I made a remark I thought to be humorous -- *quoting exactly the words Richard had used to make the same joke* to someone else -- and he took the same words he had said as a disparaging insult when said to him.
