Yea, his silly analogies are not even close to what they should be. You don't compare the inner working of an automobile engine with the driver, that would be like saying that the average web user should be able to read and understand every line of source code on any site they visit.
Try using better analogies. I would expect that the engineer who built that engine knows how it works from the inside out. That is a better analogy. In the end though, he's crazy and I am not surprised that he cannot find someone who will hire him. A simple search of Google would sway me if I were a hiring manager, or even just a monkey who could type.
