What's odd is that such a bright guy could so badly estimate the curves of 1) his ability to produce new material, and 2) new research and developments in computer science that he wants to cover in the aforementioned material. They're diverging, and quickly.

The 'poor estimate' is estimating the one person can keep up with an entire field. It's simply not possible.
