Hey! I work with that guy!!!

Other than some strange ideas like that (and ghosts, and perpetual
motion...), he seems to be fairly bright and does good work.

Go figure.

But I do wonder if this "Ralph Kolstad" really even exists and/or actually
said what he is alleged to have said...

I suspect you're right and this Kolstad is like those "combat veterans" that
testified for various anti-war groups, only to be found to have never been
outside the US or never even have served in the military in any capacity.
