Even if he wrote it, there’s no way that he hit “Tweet” without someone with specialized knowledge looking at it first. He’s been a public figure for so long. It’s way more likely that he knows enough to hire people who know what they’re doing.

There is a long-standing tradition of publishing AD&D supplements that nobody needs. See: 1st ed modules EX1 Dungeonland and EX2 The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror, the Alice in Wonderland modules.
