This is explained in Wikipedia's definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorder - the 3rd symptom listed .....
'Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions'
In fact, that definition seems to answer most questions about The Bird.
Unless you are a qualified medical practitioner with sufficient professional experience in the field, and have had the required access to TCT to have conducted proper diagnostic investigations I put it to you that this post is at best gratuitous speculation and borders on libel. I suggest you or the mods redact it in the interests of balance.
Complaining about TCT making unjustified claims and then in the same breath draw unsupported inferences is rather ironic.
