Then, again, why do you think it is out of madness?

It's not, it's likely ego and want of power. You think that's madness?

I think that's an extremely silly view of the situation when a much more reasonable motive was outright stated, and therefore significant evidence is required to prove the alternative. Vibes do not count.
