Actually, thinking about it, I expect it's because Andrew doesn't really 
interact with anyone else. I mean, why *would* you know who Stallman is 
if it never came up in a conversation? No more reason than to know where 
Brazil is if it never came up.  (I'm sure there are countries in Africa 
I don't know about that are newer than the last time I had a high-school 
geography class, for example.)

On the other hand, Andrew *does* talk with people here, and if he 
agressively persues the "I don't need to know that" idea, I'm not sure 
it's entirely isolation at fault.
