Fair enough. It is kind of odd that he's come to be viewed as such. I loved his HOPR series and found getting his insight and impressions to be really fun, and he definitely provided some details I was not privy to before, but I never really took him as some expert, especially given that he hadn't watched a good portion of the series prior to doing the episode for a given season and he was definitely not knowledgeable on the Sentai half of things more or less at all.

I guess it's just an effect of him doing such a long running series and providing that trivia that people sorta look to him that way, even if most of it was stuff you could probably find if you took the time to Google around for interviews or check wiki trivia pages.
