Answer 2

We have no way to know, since we don't monitor the man 24 hours a day. Everyone has some flashes of brilliance, and the opposite as well. All the public can rely upon are quotations in the media. If you are not watching or reading a reliable news source that checks its facts, you may be getting "factoids" instead of facts.
Even the most reputable publications make mistakes - but they generally take corrective action in order to preserve public credibility.
Case in point: the magazine's executive editor, Hendrik Hertzberg, told interviewers that The New Yorker has admitted to "something above 300" mistakes in the past. Significant errors were often acknowledged in a floating errata column variously called the "Department of Correction," the "Department of Correction and Amplification," and the "Department of Correction, Amplification, and Abuse" or via private correspondence.
