My gut tells me that he's capable of adjusting but his ego is too big for that.
He's also an absolutely awful and utterly clueless human being.
I don't agree with this.
I can't really judge his skill set in mtt's, as I'm simply not qualified. But he's done quite well, even when facing the most elite players in the world, so despite my not being qualified to judge, I think it's safe to say that he's pretty ****ing good at mtt's. I still think he's a sun runner who has no business comparing himself to, or even critiquing Doug when it comes to cash games. But that doesn't mean that he isn't elite at mtt's.
I do agree that he's somewhat clueless and generally naive. I do hate when talks about mushrooms, politics, religion, or generally anything outside of poker. I tend to disagree with him almost every time, and I generally find his view on these sorts of things to be laughable. However, I completely disagree that he's an "absolutely awful" human being. He seems to be more the complete opposite to me, in that he seems to genuinely have only good intentions, although some might be a bit misguided and/or based in pseudoscience and "ridiculouslessness". He's young, but he's smart, he'll learn, in time.
