Seems like he is a conspiracy theorist of some sort. Who on their right mind 
keeps a ten year old binary around for such purpose!?! - Usually trying to 
argue with such people is like arguing with any other mentally ill person. 
Any argument will get nowhere as reason isn't anything these people want to 
grasp as it does not fit their image of the world. Best to ignore him. 
Anything reasonable argument will just convince him he is "right" and others 
are going after him because of an imagined conspiracy.
