That's what I don't get. Tommy clearly isn't entirely stupid. He can spell 'accountancy' and 'economics' and appreciates that there's a difference between the two, even if he doesn't appear to understand what it is. And yet he tries to justify his behaviour with post-rationalisations which the average 5 year-old would find laughable. Which begs the question whether he's deluding himself, or everyone else? And if it's the latter, why?
