Neves has to be the smartest one in the HFD all the time because he's the most important.  He thinks he's infallible.  Plenty of jerks at work like him who has to be the smartest all the time and has a deaf ears.  He doesn't like people who can think for themselves, be creative,  and be smart at the same time.  Neves like "dumbing" and"causing trouble"  to the rank and file under him.  "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth."
