Rouser's thought processes

It's the x-ray one that really baffles me. X-rays may be detected easily. However, objects that have been through an airport xray scanner do not then emit x-rays, and so cannot be identified by any x-ray detection device. What about this is so hard to understand? But Rouser keeps telling us triumphantly that he could identify the x-rayed object with a Geiger counter!

It's not even central to the point under discussion, but still he holds to his completely erroneous assumption. Why? Is he just too stupid to catch on to something even a child would have no difficulty with, or is he deliberately stating an untruth just to watch us get more and more frustrated trying to argue with him?

What think you?

Rolfe.
