I think Mr. Derbyshire is trying to prove that he is neither
of the adjectives in his tagline. 

                I was having a lot of fun reading this list. I don't look
forward to the day when it isn't any fun anymore.

                For myself, I would rather be silent and thought a fool,
than to open my mouth and remove all doubt.
