I don't know if that's a symptom of ADD so much as it is scientist humor. After all, the essence of science is continuously asking the same question with small differences to see what changes, and the What If questions just tend to take that to an absurd (but fun) degree.
He's close to a goshdarn polymath, though, given his extremely dedicated interest to multiple fields of science and creative art.
