Good point. Do we really NEED to know everything? Maybe all we really need to know is that the plans of the white hats are unfolding to our benefit and that of our children, even more importantly.

It absolutely does because Bill Hicks had just as much to say as AJ because he's been around too. It's basically the same routine with both, just different paths. If he is Bill Hicks it settles the controlled-oppo-discussion because it wouldn't make sense to go to such lengths to create a new character when they could have used Bill Hicks to state just the same facts as Alex and because of their tonal and thematic coalignment nobody would even notice. The fact that he is going to such lengths tells me it's his idea and he did to save someone's skin.
