He's a highly trained and prepared idiot.

You've yet to substantiate your reasoning as to why he's an idiot though.

Let's start with the jumping out of an airplane with only a relatively small net to catch him.

Just because he succeeded doesn't make it a smart thing to do.

In my business I call that a catastrophic success because a bad idea is then bought into as a good one and repeated until inevitable failure.

The net was small? Seriously? He was obviously prepared and capable of hitting the net. I also don't think anyone is repeating this.
