Jed, on a slightly lighter note, I one may find the underlying reasons for such incomprehensible behavior as portrayed quite brilliantly (and most humorously) by John Carradine, who played Dr. Bernardo, the mad sex research scientist in Woody Allen's classic 1972 Fantasy Film "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex, * But Were Afraid to Ask."

See: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068555/

In one of the mini skits Dr. Bernardo confronts Woody with a personal ultimatum:

"They all thought I was mad! Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!"
