The band has sold us quite a bit to chew on. I agree that figuring out MJK the actual person is pointless, but the characterization of him within the context of Tool is absolutely worthy of discussion. It engulfs the whole of their oeuvre.

And in that sense, yes, it would be pointless to argue what he believes if he hadn't brought it up. But much of what the band has to offer, lyrically and visually, addresses that particular issue.
