There is a comment, in the old30s or 20s litterature, where Rutherfraud (called "tricky and deceitful, prone to drinking" on his charge sheet - police are usually good character judgement)
any way Rutherfraud mocked people who felt that "developing the 'beautiful personality' " is vanity and worth less than selling his trashy delusional crap.
he was known for his anger and abusiveness - maybe this was his cop out clause.
