    I can definitely empathize with why he did this, but I simply cannot condone it. If he had simply concluded each performance by revealing that some of his stories were exaggerated and/or fabricated while explaining his reasoning for having done so, as is the case with many narrative works/performance art pieces, that would have lent gravitas and credibility to his performances as a whole, but this? This is huxterism, and his admitting to it now - no matter how openly - and without and shred of remorse makes him look all the worse for it.
