Just coming here from permetaform's meta post. Really, really interesting. It's going to make me look at John in a whole new way.
I have to say though, I always thought part of his attitude, and part of his playing dumb was a 'pretty boy' thing. He can't hide the looks, but people are a lot more tolerant if you are pretty but dumb, or smart but unattractive. Both just pisses them off.
