Also, "that's just 'standard fare'" is so unidiomatic as to feel a bit ESL to me. Maybe his wife wrote it.

It was “atrophied” for me. He doesn’t know that word.

For me, the suspicions arose seeing where end quotes were relative to punctuation.

Yeah, that one popped for me. I do think on some of these he’s dictating (rantating?) and whoever is doing the actual typing alters as they see fit.
