I had been under the impression Tilly was honest but mistaken. Unfortunately the fact that his workshop was supposedly powered by one of his devices, using a pile of 12v batteries in parallel feeding an inverter, makes that claim just a little hard to believe. If he'd been using the shop on a continuous basis it's hard to see how he could have just overlooked the fact that the batteries eventually ran down.
