My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few musicologists like him around.It's relatively easy to get a PhD in a subject if you are the world's own authority on it: no-one knows enough to challenge you.
Of course, this means overlooking the fact that perhaps the reason that no-one has done a PhD on e.g. Mozart's most obscure offspring, is because (a) it's a fucking boring subject so no-one wants to, and (b) chances are it was of no musical significance anyway. And then, because no-one is interested enough in the subject, you can't base a career on it, and have to go and do teaching instead (which it seems he was completely unsuited to). What a tool (I feel your pain).
