I knew he was capable of it because I know several such stories.

I have indeed discussed this before, and absurdly wrote with the
assumption that people had some vague memory of learning something that
non-intuitive.

Including when RMF was asked by R Rakeffet, when his snif visited MTJ.
RARR's words (which I took as a close paraphrase), "Nu, if it's a yomtov
for you, then say Hallel; personally I don't."

Tir'u baTov!
